The use of fetal tissue in vaccine development is the practice of researching, developing, and producing vaccines through growing viruses in cultured (laboratory-grown) cells that were originally derived from human fetal tissue. [ 1] Since the cell strains in use originate from abortions, [ 2] there has been opposition to the practice and the ...
MRC-5 ( Medical Research Council cell strain 5) is a diploid cell culture line composed of fibroblasts, originally developed from the lung tissue of a 14-week-old aborted Caucasian male fetus. [ 1][ 2] The cell line was isolated by J.P. Jacobs and colleagues in September 1966 from the seventh population doubling of the original strain, and MRC ...
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who "staunchly defended" the organization, said that the videos were "disturbing" and called for a national investigation into the sale of aborted fetal tissue.

Photos of what pregnancy tissue from early abortions at 5 to 9 weeks actually looks like have gone viral.. The images, which were originally shared by MYA Network — a network of physicians who ...
WI-38 cells (Left: in high density. Right: in low density) WI-38 is a diploid human cell line composed of fibroblasts derived from lung tissue of a 3-month-gestation female fetus. [ 1][ 2] The fetus came from the elective abortion of a Swedish woman in 1963. The cell line was isolated by Leonard Hayflick the same year, [ 3][ 4] and has been ...
Miscarriage, also known in medical terms as a spontaneous abortion, is the death and expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can survive independently. [ 1][ 4] The term miscarriage is sometimes used to refer to all forms of pregnancy loss and pregnancy with abortive outcomes before 20 weeks of gestation.
Sex-selective abortion was first documented in 1975, [ 5] and became commonplace by the late 1980s in South Korea and China and around the same time or slightly later in India. Sex-selective abortion affects the human sex ratio —the relative number of males to females in a given age group, [ 6][ 7] with China and India, the two most populous ...
Fetus in fetu (or foetus in foetu) is a rare developmental abnormality in which a mass of tissue resembling a fetus forms inside the body of its twin. An early example of the phenomenon was described in 1808 by George William Young. [ 1] There are two hypotheses for the origin of a "fetus in fetu". One hypothesis is that the mass begins as a ...
