This article and all the associated articles citing this are really misleading and sometimes just outright false.
Senomyx use HEK293 - which is a cell line - this isn't some oMg aBOrtED bABIeZ thing.
It was first established in the 70s. It is much like HELA, established in the 50s.
They were cells taken from embryonic kidney cells. CELLS not actually aborted fetal kidneys.
It was cells. The cells were then basically "photocopied" - they're immortal cell line material.
It's likely the fetus was miscarried, not aborted. This is cell line material derived from an embryonic kidney cells.... from ONE donor from the early 70s.
It's not "Aborted Fetal Kidneys". I hate to break it to you, but if they weren't using this long since derived cell line from human example, they'd be using animal cells. It's no difference. It's a blue print.
Seriously, sometimes I worry about people on this site. So easily taken in by non-sense. It's a non-issue.
Again, it's NOT. ABORTED. KIDNEYS. It's a blueprint cell line. It's not material derived from freshly aborted babies and it's not genetic material that's put into ANYTHING.
