There is a terrible story (how often I have to write those words!) in the Daily Mail (UK) about women getting beauty treatments from fetal stem cells derived from abortions, with the allegation that poor women in the Ukraine are being paid $200 US to get pregnant and abort at 12 weeks for this purpose. If true, this is pure fetal farming. (The Daily Mail isn’t necessarily the most credible source, but it tells us something about the times in which we live that it is easy to believe that it is true.) I was asked to comment about it on the First Things blog site, which I was honored to do, here.
