The Trump administration is about to take a monumental step in defending life and scientific ethics by banning the use of fetal tissues from abortions in research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This decision, driven by Trump’s nominee to lead the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, and backed by key figures such as Senator Josh Hawley and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., marks a milestone in the pro-life movement and the search for ethical alternatives in science.
During a hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Trump’s NIH nominee, Jay Bhattacharya, explicitly promised to ban the use of fetal tissues from abortions in research funded by the institution.
When Senator Josh Hawley asked him if he supported Kennedy’s attempt to reinstate a policy from Trump’s first administration that severely restricted such investigation, Bhattacharya responded affirmatively, emphasizing that viable ethical alternatives exist.
