AN AMAZING PROPHECY

Trump Administration End Federal Fetal Tissue Research

The Trump administration said Wednesday it is ending medical research by government scientists using human fetal tissue, overriding the advice of scientists that there’s no other way to tackle some health problems and handing abortion opponents a major victory.

The Health and Human Services Department said in a statement that government-funded research by universities that involves fetal tissue can continue, subject to additional scrutiny. The policy changes will not affect privately funded research, officials said.
