The head of a clearinghouse partnering with Planned Parenthood to provide fetal organs to researchers joked with undercover videographers about the revulsion some personnel could experience during the process.
Cate Dyer, the CEO of StemExpress, told actors posing as fetal organ buyers that some researchers have been known to “have meltdowns” after realizing that their research specimen is recovered from aborted babies, according to a new Center for Medical Progress (CMP) release.
“It’s almost like they don’t want to know where it comes from. I can see that,” Dyer said. “Their lab techs freak out, and have meltdowns, and so it’s just, like, yeah. I think, quite frankly, that’s why a lot of researchers ultimately, some of them want to get into other things. They want to look at bone marrow, they want to look at adipose—sort of adult human, kind of adult-based sampling. They want to avoid publishing a paper that says it was derived from fetal tissue.”
A StemExpress spokesman said that Dyer was using a colloquialism rather than speaking literally.
“It would be upsetting, unnerving, and disturbing if they opened the box and saw what the result was” if researchers were not expecting a fetal organ delivery, the spokesman said.
