VANCOUVER, BC, Aug 18 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Life Dynamics Incorporated (LDI) has revealed the name of a Canadian, government funded researcher who ordered baby parts from an abortuary for research. The abortuaries which supply the baby parts are paid handsome sums for their baby remains and intermediary companies pick up and slice up the babies for delivery to paying researchers across the US and Canada. A worker for one such intermediary company became pro-life after witnessing the killing of live-born babies at an abortuary after a failed abortion attempt.
The worker has acted as a pro-life spy revealing the secrets of the baby parts market. LDI has an order form for a shipment of “lungs (trachea not required)” from babies “16-24 week” gestation. The memo notes that the lungs are for studying “molecular mechanisms of fluid reabsorption in human fetal lung.” The name on the request is University of British Columbia’s Dr. Vanugram Venkatesh who asks that the lungs be sent by Fedex.
When contacted by Alberta Report for comment, Dr. Vankatesh said that he admitted that he did do research on immature lungs two years ago, with a Medical Research Council grant, at the B.C. Children’s Hospital. Alberta Report reporter Celeste McGovern notes that when asked if he used human tissue, he replied, “Yeah,” then changed his mind. He asked “Where are you getting your information?” Asked if he had ever ordered fetal lungs from the U.S., he said, “I have to go,” and hung up abruptly.
Canada, with its absence of any laws governing fetal experimentation is “leading the way in these experiments,” according to experts in the field. Dr. Ivar Mendez at Dalhousie University in Halifax has received a $90,042 grant from the Medical Research Council of Canada for 1999-2000 for his work in transplanting fetal brain tissue into the brains of Parkinson’s patients. A fetal tissue repository in the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton takes aborted babies from abortion mills in Edmonton and Winnipeg and sends body parts to researchers at the Universities of Toronto and British Columbia.
