“Since we know we are going to destroy, dismember and discard the fetus in a procedure known as abortion, it seems a small indignity to expose it to rubella vaccine just prior to that termination. The medical ethic ‘do no harm’ would, of course, be violated — but we have already violated that principle when we accepted the concept of abortion. The ultimate harm of destroying the fetus trivializes that which precedes it.”
William Gaylin and Marc Laape (president and associate for biological sciences at the Hastings Institute) Fetal Politics: The Debate on Experimenting with the Unborn.” Atlantic Monthly , May 1975.
Experimentation on living human babies (in the womb or outside the womb) is illegal now but wasn’t always. In the past, living aborted babies have been subject to medical experimentation.

When I was about 17 or so. I had already had a child, that I gave up for adoption. There was an ad in the Orange County Register newspaper, place by UC Irvine Medical center. It was asking for women’s eggs. I was poor and needed some cash. So I thought about it. I mean to say, I thought about it, not to imply considered it. My thought as a teenager was…What do they want them for. I thought perhaps to experiment with them. Really? Those eggs, if fertilized, would be my genetic children. I’d have zero say. I cringed at the thought that someone was willing to pay for my eggs to do unthinkable things to them. I thank God, that He gave me wisdom. I never pursued that avenue of income.
