Congenital heart defects in newborns are terrible, and I don't
aim to make light of these serious health issues or of
abortion in general. I used to carpool with a guy who was born
with a heart defect, and I just learned this week that I now
have one in the family.
I wonder if late-term aborted
fetuses could be used as organ
donors for newborns, particularly for the premature.

Perhaps this is already done? |
|
|
Yes, I think so. And maybe they can be harvested (terrible word in this context) and grown to suit older people. |
|
|
However, dreaded monty python like scenario's ensue where "docters" go around saying "can we have his liver then?" to grieving parents. |

Brainless aborted fetuses growing in vats line the walls. |

Brainless aborted fetuses growing in vats[+]
I, for one, strongly support the notion of designing
brainless humans, (replace basic endocrine and
organ control with a chip) cloning other humans,
and harvesting organs. |

Doctors already do this with older cadavers, why
not
younger ones? |

Why not clone yourself and transplant your brain? |
|
|
Why not come up with a proper way to avoid cellular aging? Save all the Dr Frankenstein faffing about. |

Oh, that gave me an idea BTW see linky to novelty organ transplants.. |
