RE: the key word is “consent.” did the baby consent?
Well, here’s the author’s argument:
What then is the similarity between organ recovery and tissue recovery following abortion? The parallel is that in both instances tissue is recovered following death.
Neither the need for organs nor the desire to advance research are the means by which death occurs or the impetus for it. Both merely involve how tissues are used after death has occurred.
There are two distinct moral acts under consideration. One act is abortion, which is wrong. Another act is the use of tissue after death which, in the case of vaccine research, has nothing to do with the mother’s decision to sinfully abort the child in the first place.
murder vs. an act of God? not even close. i want to make it to Heaven. that infinitely more important to me than living a few more years (or not). no guarantees with a vaccine.
