Sci-fi or sick? Harvesting eggs of aborted little girls
IVF is already riddled with moral conundrums, not the least of which is the “selective reduction” abortions that often follow an overly successful IVF procedure (where a woman aborts one or more of multiple babies she has unwittingly conceived). There is also the problem of fertilized human zygotes (aka little humans) who are not selected for implantation being simply discarded without a second thought as to their intrinsic value as humans.
It comes as little surprise, for a procedure that is wont to constantly and consistently put the desires and preferences of parents before the humanity of their children, that the newest contribution to IVF science involves ravaging the bodies of murdered babies for their spoils.
That’s right, people: dead baby girls who have been the victims of abortion are now being utilized for their eggs….
~ Lauren Enriquez, Live Action News, April 2
This is not a new idea. According to a 1994 New York Times article discussing ovary/egg transplant from aborted children, “A 10-week-old female fetus has already made all its eggs, about six million to seven million.”

“They raise the nightmare prospect of a child whose biological mother has never been born.”
This just hurts my brain. AHHHHH!!!!!
This is really disgusting. Absolutely sick.
How on Earth is someone going to explain “We didn’t want your mom…just you. We murdered your mom”
That’s just SICK.
Is anything more female than “making eggs”? I have no problem with using the pronoun it for a baby, but when we’re talking about an exclusively female function, isn’t her the appropriate choice? Even animals (lionesses, for example), are often referred to as she and her. Of course, I also realize that the 1994 article is from the New York Times. They strictly enforce the mindset that a human fetus is not a person.
They kill the golden goose after they harvest her eggs. What a sick world we live in. LL :(
How does a blob of tissue have eggs? I vote absolutely positively not!
‘My personal view is that it is wrong,’ he said. ‘Partly because it would cause widespread revulsion and partly because you would have somebody born who is the child of someone who never lived.’
That someone did live. But only long enough for the hitperson to kill her.
People as an means to an end. Remember slavery, abortion lovers?
Yeah, it pretty much sucked then too.
This makes me want to cry. Or vomit. Or both. What a sick, sick world we live in.
This is horrifying…because economic/business reasons are most likely the impetus behind this misadventure.
I never knew about this. I am not sure many other people know about this. This idea is so morally repugnant that it might help persuade a lot of people who sit on the fence about abortion to finally become prolife. I hope the MSM reports about this.
Why are the eggs of these babies good enough to live but not themselves? Money – these babies provide money to abortionists by being aborted, reduce the costs for the parents who aborted them, and now their eggs can be exploited for money through expensive IVF procedures. Sometimes capitalism can go horribly wrong. Or rather capitalism, like a democracy, requires an educated and moral people – and Christianity used to provide those moral people but now Christianity is persecuted by the very Democratic Republic it created.
Note to Ms. Enriquez, you need to rephrase. Babies are not “unwittingly conceived” in IVF. They are quite purposely, intentionally manufactured and no woman can say, “I didn’t mean to conceive so many babies.”
Can you imagine if they kept records and a woman someday contacts her biological grandmother who had the woman’s mother aborted?
Can you imagine being the post-abortive woman who someday has a biological grandchild show up on her doorstep…the grandchild through the child she aborted?
It just keeps getting more twisted if thats possible for abortion to do…SICK. The devil just loves this. God have mercy on us.
Lovely. So let’s kill girls and extract their eggs, and then we can use a womb with a poor Indian woman attached in order to gestate the zygotes produced (the zygotes deemed worthy to live, of course. If you’re paying good money, you certainly don’t want a defective product). Finally, we can then give the final consumer product to her wealthy parents/slaveholders.

If the fetus is not a legal person who owns those eggs of the aborted preborn girl? Does Mom? Or are they in the domain of finders, keepers?
This is one more reason, albeit a morbid reason, as to why the preborn deserve legal personhood status.
The evidence from this article is clear: abortion opens up the doors of all kinds of slippery-slope options.
slippery slope is a logical fallacy. nice try though.
seriously though, this is weird. Aren’t there enough living women for egg donations?
Reminds me of Jn 1:13 “who were born, not of blood nor of the WILL OF THE FLESH, nor OF THE WILL OF MAN, but of God.”
Sure sounds like lust and the evil that may be in the heart of man and/or woman. Lust being what I want and when I want it, be it sex, money, power, a child, etc. and the hell with the consequences which is where they may end up.
Beginning with the 55 million and counting aborted babies just in the US, the over 1 million born IVF babies, not to mention the uncounted rapes, etc. just since 1973 … no wonder Jesus fell under the weight of the wood for lust alone!
I welcome each and every baby who makes it into creation. The child is not responsible for the sins of their parents. Most of the semen used in IVF starts with masturbation.
See Ezekiel 33:8 Do not want to go to hell for my own sins. Sure do not want to go to hell for not warning much less sticking up for any other person’s sins.
slippery slope is a logical fallacy. nice try though.
Yes, it can be. But it doesn’t apply here. Clearly abortion is what led to harvesting the eggs of aborted girls. It’s not an unsupported leap in logic.

I suppose not, hence this. It’s a pretty invasive process to go through – injections, the retrieval itself, etc; you can’t have sex during the weeks that you’re going through the process. I know several women who looked into egg donation and eventually decided it was just too arduous a process to be worth the payoff.
Maybe harvesting the eggs of aborted girls is just cheaper – nobody’s got to deal with, like, compensating her for all the trouble and discomfort. You just take them.
This has all the same grossness of necrophilia. What it comes down to is, your body is your body, and no one can use it without your consent – even when you’re dead. But at the same time, if you think it’s wrong to use the body parts of an aborted baby without her consent, how can you not think it’s wrong to kill her without her consent?

It what sense, A7x? If we open the door to abortion, then why wouldn’t it be a slippery slope down to this?

Thank you, lrning for explaining my point!
I just had a horrible thought – what if they decide to pay Moms to abort young preborn girls in order to harvest the eggs of the preborn girls. What a freakish world we live in, where things like this are possible – Moms making money by aborting their children!
I wouldn’t say that it’s a slippery slope though. There are still lines that one can draw. For example, you could say that it’s okay to abort, but not okay to eat aborted fetuses. obviously that’s an extreme example.
And yeah, I have heard the process of egg donation is arduous. I guess I don’t get the whole fertility treatment sort of thing. Isn’t it just easier and more “natural” to adopt at that point? There are many children that need loving homes…
If an aborted baby isn’t human then how would an aborted babys egg make a human? Headspin

Not as extreme as you’d think, apparently!

Gross.

Agreed.
This makes me so sick.
Man the days are evil!!
So how do they know that a “bunch of cells” is female and has eggs to harvest??
Perhaps there are male blobs and female blobs??
Is it possible to file a lawsuit against the US government for upholding Roe which allows the exploitation of the preborn baby’s body parts, eggs, etc… on behalf of these preborn babies? Roe has created this huge legal blackhole.
I realize it may seem impossible since the state doesn’t even recognize the preborn as people but there must be a way. Hopefully, it is possible.
So I suppose that after harvesting the eggs, if some of them are girls and they don’t want girls, or if someone just wants more eggs, they’ll abort them and take their eggs too. This is sick and demented.
Father, forgive us.
Did anyone see the age at which the eggs develop? 16 weeks. Even the abortion supporters can’t deny that you are killing a child to steal their parts (though they will, of course). I’m used to reading horrific things, but for some reason this is depressing beyond measure. It’s so monstrous I can’t even stand it.
A ten-week-old female fetus has not “made” all (her) eggs. GOD has made them. The NYT makes insane, wicked statements like this on a daily basis.
“A ten-week-old female fetus has not “made” all (her) eggs. GOD has made them. The NYT makes insane, wicked statements like this on a daily basis.”
Really? that’s an insane and wicked statement? because I’m pretty sure it’s just basic science.
i have a friend who believes abortion should be legal but agrees with jill stanek in supporting the death penalty. he believes we should just shoot the murderer in the back of the head and then crop all the body parts that can be used — liver, kidneys, bone marrow, eye corneas and whatever else could be used for someone. whatever is left should just be incinerated. he thinks they didn’t do much good alive but can be made to do some good after they have suffered the death penalty.
