DEAR EDITOR,
In a recent letter to you, I saw a stirring plea to women to turn away from abortion, for mainly biblical reasons. A few weeks ago I read in a UK newspaper that aborted foetuses are used in the furtherance of medical research in such fields as IVF experiments, the possible production of synthetic blood, etc. No doubt, like other ‘harvested’ organs, each foetus earns someone ‘in the trade’ a good fee; so, the more the merrier.
Perhaps, abortion is a free operation to the ‘donor’ but a nice little – or big – earner to others. The things we do for money! Geralda Dennison
