Top scientist: ‘I’d consider that a living baby’

The scientist who recently went public with her belief Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers harvest organs from babies with active heartbeats says she is sickened to see her theory confirmed by the newest Center for Medical Progress video, and she says the horror is compounded by knowing fetal organ research yields virtually no medical progress and that other depraved experiments may be happening.

On Wednesday, the Center for Medical Progress released the seventh in a series of videos exposing the practices of Planned Parenthood, with particular focus on the abortion provider’s alleged profiting from the sale of aborted baby parts.

The new video is the third to feature the testimony of Holly O’Donnell, a former procurement technician for Stem Express, the biomedical firm that had a close business relationship with Planned Parenthood until last week. (Video is available at the end of this report.)

O’Donnell told the horrific tale of watching a Planned Parenthood employee prepare to harvest the brain of a newly aborted baby.

“This is the most gestated fetus and the closest thing to a baby I’ve seen. [The Planned Parenthood employee] was like, ‘OK, I want to show you something.’ So she has one of her instruments and she just taps the heart and it stops beating. I’m sitting here looking at this fetus and its heart is beating and I don’t know what to think,” said O’Donnell in the video.

“It had a face. It wasn’t completely torn up. It’s nose was very pronounced. It had eyelids, and its mouth was pronounced. Since the fetus was so intact, she said, ‘Well, OK, this is a really good fetus and it looks like we can procure a lot from it. We’re going to procure brain. So what you do is you go through the face.’ I’m thinking, no, I don’t want to do this,” continued O’Donnell.

AVM Biotechnology CEO Theresa Deisher, who predicted these sorts of tactics were being used in abortion facilities, told WND and Radio America she takes no solace in having her theory confirmed.

“I probably felt the same emotions that every American and every person is feeling this morning,” Deisher said. “Having my suspicions and the suspicions I shared with (Center for Medical Progress Project Lead) David Daleiden over the years confirmed, it just made me sick and really a horrible, sinking feeling in my stomach.”

Read the tested and proven strategies to defeat the abortion cartel, in “Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time.”

Deisher said her suspicion of such grisly tactics came from years of studying scientific journals and learning what fetal organs are most highly desired.

“For the heart research, they look for fetal gestation age of 20 weeks or beyond,” said Deisher, noting that babies as young as 22 weeks in the womb have survived premature births.

“In their descriptions, it was just very clear that those babies had to be alive when they took their tissues because the scientists in their publications say that they have to have the material in their special digesting buffers within five minutes,” she explained. “That wouldn’t be possible with other situations.”

As O’Donnell saw the Planned Parenthood technician tap the baby’s heart on and off, she wasn’t sure if the child was alive or dead. Deisher said there should be no confusion.

“A human being is certainly alive until their heart stops beating,” she says. “Perhaps in this situation, the baby’s heart stopped beating temporarily during the procedure to take the baby from the mother’s womb. But it started beating again with a tap. I would consider that a living baby.”

Deisher is not sure if we will soon see videos describing other grisly tactics, but she has another ominous fear about how these babies may be used.

“I have long worried about the temptation that people might have to keep an aborted baby alive and potentially use that baby for an intact study on a drug metabolism or a new drug toxicity profile by perfusing the baby, which is absolutely horrific,” she said.

Deisher said Wednesday’s revelations not only shock the conscience but ought to generate even more frustration when realizing the pro-choice defense of harvesting baby organs is fallacious.

“Regardless of illegality or legality, this is wrong. Even if it’s legal, it should be made to be illegal. We should not allow this as a civilized society. More important, it’s absolutely unnecessary,” said Deisher, referring to Planned Parenthood assertions that the harvested organs are used to develop breakthrough treatments for all sorts of ailments.

She said that’s simply not true.

“I’m not aware of any medical breakthrough that required or needed the use of aborted fetal tissue for progress,” Deishen said.

She said there are biological barriers that prevent fetal parts from being of much use to treat older patients.

“Results from fetal tissue would often times be misleading because what happens during the development of a baby in a womb and the proteins and factors that regulate that is often not what happens in an adult or a toddler,” Deishen said.

“Since we’re talking about breakthroughs to treat adults or children, the information from the aborted fetus in many cases would not be applicable at all,” she added.

Deishen concluded by saying the moral conscience of America must be aroused by the horrors exposed in these videos.

“This is absolutely barbaric and beneath the dignity of a civilized society,” she said. “We can do better than this. We, as a people who are civilized and respectful of other human beings, we need to develop alternatives. That’s the mission of my organization, to develop alternatives so that no one will ever feel compelled, coerced or justified in exploiting another human being for medical progress.”

Also, after release of the video Wednesday, Liberty Counsel called on Congress to impose an emergency moratorium on Planned Parenthood funding.

“We are living in dark times,” Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, said in a public statement. “Planned Parenthood uses our tax dollars to fund its massacre of helpless children. You and I are complicit because part of our tax money is going into the hands of people who are cutting out organs of developed babies and selling them to the highest bidder! Future generations will look back on us the way we look at the brutality of Nazi Germany or ISIS and wonder how we could have allowed innocent babies to be slaughtered.”
