Hands Off Our Ovaries
Feminists and pro-life activists have joined together to protest the direction that is being taken by bio-technologists in their push to introduce the cloning of stem cells.
I have provided a link to the site named "Hands Off Our Ovaries" so that like minded men and women can join together to protest the manner in which women are being used to harvest eggs.
In part, this coalition is a response to the Hwang scandal in South Korea, where thousands of eggs were harvested for corrupt research, including the eggs from laboratory workers. This is unethical. It is also a reaction in part to the deaths of two women as they were having eggs harvested for the IVF program.
Scientific research into matters relating to fertility, cloning, and yes even something like Mifepristone, needs to be paused and the bioethics committees need to take stock about where all of this is heading.
So yes, it is time to tell researchers: "hands off our ovaries."
