Is Planned Parenthood Selling Parts of Unborn Babies? - http://clapway.com/2015/07/16/is-planned-parenthood-selling-parts-of-unborn-babies567/

The subject of abortion has always been hard to digest by some, but extremely discussed by others, as it seems to present certain ethical problems. In addition to all ethical issues that already existed, another problem in regards to this subject appeared.

Earlier this week, a video showing that Planned Parenthood apparently provides organs and tissue samples from babies killed in abortions to medical research facilities was released.

Are Parts of Unborn Babies Sold to Researchers?

Because of the video, Planned Parenthood clinics seem to be under investigation since the it showed one of the group’s director discussing harvesting fetal body parts.

The video could be evidence that Planned Parenthood may be taking aborted fetuses and selling the tissue. It was brought to public attention by a nonprofit anti-abortion organization, on Tuesday, even though it seems to be one-year-old.

A Planned Parenthood official was recorded while talking about baby body parts at a bustling West Coast restaurant. The discussion was about how to best harvest hearts, lungs, livers, and heads. At one point, there are offered explanations about how they are very careful not to destroy the baby body parts.

The Planned Parenthood Clinic States the Clinic Acts Under Legal Standards

In accordance with the response given by Planned Parenthood, the clinic has several health centers, where they accept patients who want to donate tissue for scientific research.

The clinic states, there is no difference between their actions and the manner other high-quality health care providers work.

Planned Parenthood emphasizes the fact that they receive consent from all patients and everything is done under high ethical, as well as legal standards.

In addition, the spokesman of the health clinic affirmed that the clinic does not receive any financial benefit for tissue donation.

Is the Use of Fetal Organs and Tissue Legal?

Whether Planned Parenthood is guilty or not, that is only up for lawyers to debate.

According to the law, using fetal organs and tissue in medical research is not illegal. Of course, the law mentions that there should be no financial benefit from this use. The money that covers the costs of transportation, processing, or storage of human fetal tissue is the only amount of money that should exist, when discussing this issue, as the law states.

5 Ancient Contraceptive Methods That Will Make You Cringe - http://clapway.com/2015/07/15/5-ancient-contraceptive-methods-that-will-make-you-cringe456/

Weasel Balls

Balls would seem like the last thing to help keep pregnancy away. But this ancient birth control method from the Dark Ages was commonly used for those hoping to keep the babies away. Women would make a special garter to be worn around their thighs, with the testicles dangling. The superstition was spread by magicians, who often did give medical advice. Our magicians today are not the same as they were in the Dark Ages. They would travel and gather donations for performing miracles, or actually even practicing medicine. So, getting your birth control advice from one isn’t that weird. It’s just the advice itself that is.

Beaver Balls

Yup, the ball keeps moving. But this method is from 16th Century Canada, not the Dark Ages. From what I can piece together, a beaver’s testicles were dried and then ground into a fine powder. Mixed with very strong moonshine, the concoction was drunk, though whether by the man or the woman (or both) could be debated. This ancient contraceptive is even stranger than the use of weasel balls, because one would actually consume the balls in this case. Up until this point, I have only heard of testicles being ingested for virility. I wonder how well this ancient birth control method worked…

Iron and Gin

This one is a little more modern, most likely used in the 19th century. When people were downing mercury and morphine to cure their ailments, a common birth control was a shot of gin with flecks of iron in it. The drink may have had the desired results, but at the cost of iron poisoning, and a stiff hang over. Iron has a very high toxicity, and can leave lasting effects. So, please: This is no Goldschläger.

Opium

The list of ancient contraceptive methods is becoming more grim, don’t you think? Women would make a diaphragm of opium paste and push it up their vaginal canal, up against the cervix. This is how a modern diaphragm works… but thank goodness modern ones aren’t laced with opium.

Blacksmith Water

Oh yes, as if opium wasn’t a big enough issue, try imagining drinking the sludge from a blacksmith’s shop. This ancient birth control can be traced back to ancient Greece. The method works, to the point that the toxic water left over is known to cause sterility. So, I guess the women who used this ancient contraceptive method found that it worked, though maybe not exactly how they had hoped.
