RICHMOND, Mar 14, 2001 (LSN.ca) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States is funding research into an anti-pregnancy vaccine to be used in China, where the one-child policy has been enforced with forced abortions, forced sterilizations and infanticide. The Population Research Institute (PRI) released a report this month indicating that Dr. John Herr is carrying out research at the University of Virginia on “recombinant gamete contraceptive vaccinogens.” Herr hopes to develop a vaccine that will cause a woman’s body to react to sperm in the same way that it does to germs, causing the immune system to destroy sperm that enter the Fallopian tubes thereby preventing pregnancy.
According to PRI President Steven Mosher, apart from assisting in the funding of Herr’s research, the NIH is funding, “no fewer than six researchers from China will come to the University of Virginia to study contraceptive vaccines in the years to come.” Mosher asserts, “It is an embarrassment for the National Institutes of Health to fund, and for American universities to train researchers from China’s state-run population and family planning institutes. Will they not return to China to wield their newly honed skills in the service of Beijing’s assault upon women and families? And will we not be complicit in the violations of human rights that will surely result?”
