The US Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday it will not renew a fetal tissue research contract with the University of California, San Francisco that expired today. The decision concludes a review of research using tissue from aborted fetuses.
The agency also announced measures to limit future research involving human fetal tissue from elective abortions."Promoting the dignity of human life from conception to natural death is one of the very top priorities of President Trump's administration," a statement from Health and Human Services said. According to the statement, an audit of the program"helped inform the policy process that led to the administration's decision to let the contract with UCSF expire.
At the time of the hearing, Patricia Morris, a board member of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology and a professor in the reproductive health program at Rockefeller University, told CNN that human fetal tissue derived from elective abortions is"absolutely essential" for certain biomedical research."There is no substitute today," Morris said."No reproducible, robust and clinically relevant materials are otherwise available.
