Aborted Fetus Cells Used in Cosmetics

(San Francisco, California) When aborted fetuses are used as raw materials for retail products, my hair stands on end.

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."

Neocutis Inc. defended itself by stating that the company harvested fetal cells in a responsible, ethical manner.
