Aborted Fetus Cells Used In Beauty Products
By Valerie Richardson
A San Francisco cosmetics company has ignited an outcry among pro-lifers for including an unexpected ingredient in its anti-aging creams: skin-cell proteins from an aborted fetus.
Children of God for Life, a watchdog group that monitors the use of fetal material in medical products, called last week for a boycott of all treatments manufactured by Neocutis Inc., which acknowledges that the key ingredient in its product line was developed from an aborted boy.
"There's just no excuse for using aborted babies in skin-care products," said Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Children of God for Life, a 10-year-old organization based in Murfreesboro, Tenn. "The reaction, the shock and anger I've seen is incredible."
In a statement released Friday, in response to a wave of condemnation from pro-life and religious blogs, Neocutis defended the use of its trademarked ingredient, Processed Skin Cell Proteins, or PSP, arguing that the fetal cell line was harvested in a responsible, ethical manner for use in treating severe dermatological injuries.

I will not shed a tear for anyone who knowingly uses this product and gets melanoma.
God must, will & is judging America for this.
If anyone is murdered, let’s be sure never to use his organs.
I don’t like to speak of prophecy, but with the crumbling Bay Bridge and a Hayward Fault that is decades overdue for the big one, I would not want to be in California.
Are you seriously comparing organ donation to what boils down to uses aborted tissue for anti wrinkle cream?
How horrifying! Just how sick is the West going to get?
This culture is damned.
I will not shed a tear for anyone ....of its owners, investors, employees, or purchasers of its products if this manufacturing plant is blown to smithereens.
I hear ya. I do live in California but in the Bible-belt part of eastern Madera County. San Francisco is Sodom and will have a similar fate. The judgement is already here. We’re bankrupt.
Find out which Congresscritters/judges are getting kickbacks from these companies, it'll help explain why Roe v. Wade hasn't been overturned.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
What a nation of monsters we have bred.
People without honor are people with no soul.
True...this isn’t “aborted tissue,” nor was it ever part of a living being, unlike the organs of someone murdered. It’s protein...molecules...
No, this was from a non-viable fetus who wouldn’t have lived to full term, so I guess his life is worthless and his body should have just been discarded.
Eh?
Even the idea of doing this, much less attempting to justify it, is monstrous. Even the evil Nazis did not include this in their array of unspeakable barbarism in using the cells of the murdered innocent unborn to be used as beauty products.
"...nor was it ever part of a living being"
vs.
"non-viable fetus who wouldn’t have lived to full term"
where "wouldn't have lived" indicates the living had been going on, but was interrupted.
Nice try, though.
Cheers!
“Let Countess Báthory take you away!”
The Nazi’s made lampshade out of human skin, so yeah, they were this barbaric.
I have no words for this travesty.
(it was like a sucker punch to the gut just to read it)
Or the soap from human body fat... or the ‘experiments’ involving replacing the blood of living people with sawdust.
