|
In April, the UK Observer reported that a shocking trade in embryonic and fetal tissues and cells has been exposed in the Ukraine. Women are being paid about $180 per unborn child to become pregnant, so that the fetuses can be deliberately aborted at specific times for use in “beauty treatments” for wealthy clients in Russia. The unborn children must be 4-27 weeks for brains, 4-14 weeks for livers, ovaries and testicles.
Marketers of the “beauty treatments” use blends of fetal cells and claim that they reverse aging and cure many diseases. The injections are banned in the Ukraine and Russia, but they are widely available in salons, at costs exceeding $18,000.
The unborn children have to be alive when aborted, and are cryogenically frozen. A middleman cuts the child into separate organs before selling the child, whose sale can exceed $9,000.
