Aborted babies’ chests cut open in grisly experiment

The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published an article on an experiment done at Stanford University Hospital by Dr. Robert C Goodlin where the chests of aborted babies were cut open while they were alive to observe their beating hearts. The babies were kept in incubators.

“The thorax [chest] was opened and the heart was observed directly. When the heart was beating, the fetus was returned to the chamber and the experiment was resumed.”

The longest any of the babies survived was 11 hours.

Such experimentation on living aborted children was made illegal in the US, though it may still go on in other countries.
