It turns out that Regeneron, Trump's new miracle cure, uses a line of human embryonic stem cells derived from a 1972 abortion in the Netherlands.
For those inclined to think along such lines, it's as though those cells are trapped in an endless medical hell of experimentation, never allowed to develop into a human being. Then there is this peculiar line of tumor cells from a now deceased woman that show this similar property of immortality. Should medical research be forbidden on human cells? Are cells people or are people people? A house can be made of bricks, but is a brick a house?
