Treating UK Women as Harvestable Crops

UK scientists are offering unfertile women thousands of pounds off the price of IVF treatments if they agree to “donate” their eggs for use in biomedical research—meaning cloning. The scheme was necessary because the human cloners did not have enough eggs to pursue their cloning research.

This is no different than buying eggs, added to which, the cloners are making human life for the purpose of destroying it. Moreover, it is aimed at poor women who would not otherwise be able to afford the IVF treatment.

The slippery slope is sliding before our eyes and the UK continues its headfirst plunge toward Brave New Britain.
