University That Attached Aborted Babies’ Scalps to Rats Must be Fully Investigated

From Life News:

The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) has become one locus of concern about the use of baby parts in medical research. Evidence of this concern has arisen on several occasions.

This article claims that a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Pitt project even involved grafting aborted baby scalps onto rats; see the article’s link to published study. Reader beware: the study contains very disturbing graphics. And in the fall of 2021, the Center for Medical Progress published Pitt grant records it obtained with the assistance of Judicial Watch that suggested Pitt was altering abortion methods in order to maximize usable human fetal tissue for its so-called “Tissue Hub.”  (Altering abortion methods for profit is a violation of federal laws.)

Following up on an April 2022 record production from NIH that revealed a hurried Zoom call requested by Jeremy Berg, Pitt’s Associate Senior Vice Chancellor for Science Strategy and Planning in Health Sciences, Judicial Watch Senior Investigator Bill Marshall filed another FOIA on May 15, 2023.

NIH failed to respond and the request was subsequently litigated by Meredith DiLiberto (also from Judicial Watch; she provided the interpretations of the FOIA documents throughout this article).  As a result of the litigation, NIH produced records. See JW-v-HHS-Univ-Pitt-docs-03045.pdf.
