Fetal Farms: Abortion Is Moral

The next embryonic stem cell eugenics phase is already in the Leftist gunsight. Fetal farming is declared both acceptable and moral, not to mention beneficial to women.

Wesley J. Smith, at firstthings.com comments on the recent promotion of fetal farming at Leftist huffingtonpost.com.

Quoted from the huffingtonpost.com:

“Opponents of reproductive choice will object to such a market on the grounds that it will increase the number of abortions—which will indeed be the logical result. However, such a market might also bring solace to women who have already decided upon abortion, but desire that some additional social good come from the procedure. Like the families of accident victims who donate the organs of their loved ones, these women could well find their decisions fortified by the public benefit that they generate. An additional economic incentive would further assuage any doubts, and might even make the procedure more palatable to otherwise equivocal spouses or partners.”

“Someday, if we are fortunate, scientific research may make possible farms of artificial “wombs” breeding fetuses for their organs — or even the “miracle” of men raising fetuses in their abdomens. That day remains far off. However, the prospect of fetal-adult organ transplantation is a much more realistic near-term possibility. A market in such organs might benefit both society and the women who choose to take advantage of it.”

Smith:

“Again, I think it would be a mistake to react to every Appel column because that would support his business model. But that the Huffington Post considers this a legitimate and acceptable argument to run on its site—it would never countenance a racist utilitarian rant—shows precisely the dark place where the utilitarian left is more than happy to go. And it reminds me of the wisdom of the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, who once wrote:”

“Thousands of ethicists and bioethicists, as they are called, professionally guide the unthinkable on its passage through the debatable on its way to becoming the justifiable, until it is finally established as the unexceptional.”

The Left loves embryonic stem cells and ignores adult stem cells. The reason is obvious. The elitist feels the power when playing God with the lives of others. It is exhilarating, self-fulfilling the presumption of absolute superiority of oneself over the lesser creatures of humanity. It is inescapably a part of the totalitarian Left, which endeavors to appear more omnibenevolent than any God they can conceive. Having safely achieved Obama's recent Hegelian synthesis, they immediately propose a further antithesis, dragging the unimaginably unethical into the realm of the "debatable". One thing about Lefitist socialists: they never resolve toward an ethical stasis. One other thing about Leftist socialists: once in charge, they usually annihilate each other. It is merely implementing post-natal abortion as pragmatic for the success of ever futher Hegelian antitheses.
