HHS Extends Contract to Make ‘Humanized Mice’ With Aborted Baby Parts for Another 90 Days

(CNSNews.com) - The Department of Health and Human Services says it has granted a second 90-day extension to a contract it has with the University of California at San Francisco that requires UCSF to make “humanized mice.”

These creatures are made by implanting mice with human tissues taken from late-term aborted babies.

The HHS's multi-million-dollar contract with UCSF that requires the construction of these “humanized mice” creates a demand--driven by federal tax dollars--for tissue taken from late-term aborted babies. According to an estimate it has published on its website, the National Institutes of Health (which is a division of HHS) will spend $95 million this fiscal year alone on research that--like UCSF's "humanized mouse" contract--uses human fetal tissue.

Under the new 90-day extension, the contract—which the government calls “Humanized Mouse Models for HIV Therapeutics Development”--will run through June 5.

HHS also is still in the process of conducting the “comprehensive review” it announced last September “of all research involving fetal tissue.”

That review was initiated to ensure that all federally funded research using human fetal tissue is consistent “with statutes and regulations governing such research, and to ensure the adequacy of procedures and oversight of this research in light of the serious regulatory, moral, and ethical considerations involved.”

“The UCSF contract has been issued another extension,” HHS said on Friday in response to questions from CNSNews.com about the contract and the review.

“We will provide an update on the review once it has concluded and as appropriate,” HHS said.

As CNSNews.com first reported on Oct. 17, 2018, the National Institutes of Health, which is part of HHS, originally signed its “humanized mouse” contract with UCSF on Dec. 6, 2013. The contract was for a one-year period and gave the government the option of renewing it for up to six additional one-year periods through Dec. 5, 2020.

According to contract information published on the Federal Procurement Data System, the new three-month extension will pay UCSF $521,082—bringing the total payments the federal government has made to UCSF for this contract to $10,596,960.

If the government continues renewing the contract through Dec. 5, 2020, HHS would end up paying UCSF a total of $13,799,501.

The contract specifically requires researchers at UCSF to make two different types of “humanized mice” both of which are “engrafted with human fetal liver and thymus.”

The “Statement of Work” in the original contract solicitation said that the contractor would be required to make one “cohort” of “up to 50” mice per month of the first type of humanized mouse and another cohort of “up to 40” mice per month of the second type. The statement said each of these two cohorts of “humanized mice” should be made “with tissue from a single donor”—meaning a single aborted baby.

This is an outrage and must be stoped immediately otherwise they might come up with a cure for Cancer, AIDS or Alzheimer’s! It makes much more sense to incinerate this tissue as medical waste.

Whose phrase is "humanized mice"? All I see is genuine, vetted medical research using fetal tissue in mice. This is neither new nor news.

It's in this article too from Science -

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/12/report-nih-will-cancel-fetal-tissue-research-contract-fuels-controversy

*Update, 6 December, 11:45 a.m.: Responding to a Freedom of Information Act request from ScienceInsider, NIH has released its 3 December letter to UCSF indicating that a contract involving humanized mice might be terminated. Here is our original story from 5 December:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in Washington, D.C., is vigorously contesting a report, published by The Washington Post, that it has decided to cancel a $2-million-a-year contract that funds work using human fetal tissue to develop mice with humanlike i****e s****ms for testing drugs against HIV.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

Apparently it is fine to murder babies to make super mice. WHAT am I missing?

Kevyn

That they aren’t murdering any babies or building Mighty Mouse they are doing medical research to find cures for horrible diseases with tissue samples you would prefer to have destroyed.

Gatsby

That is why the "a******n industry" is pushing laws promoting more late term a******ns.

The ends justify the means: v. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

Thank you. That was my point but you said it better.

Kevie,

Let’s hope they can find a cure for your h**e before it k**ls you, never mind.

Tick Tock Tick Tock TDS boom

Hadenough

Gatsby,

I am curious, I wonder how many of these pro a******n people are organ donors? What would these people do if researchers got a bill passed allowing them to remove organs before the donor died? Would it be okay in the name of research? Brain, eyes, heart, you know all the unnecessary organs. Just wondering.

Show me the way to get out of this world. This is a sick way to make sheeples think full term a******n is for the good of mankind! Murder is never for the good of mankind period.

They aren't tissue samples you d********g SOB they're parts from murdered children.
You're sick!!!! You're not even human!

They are doing the same thing with dogs and cats. Tests have shown that fetal stem cells don't work very well but adult stem cells do for curing illnesses.

I don't care what anyone thinks, this is evil incarnate disguised as science. Guess who is behind this other than politicians and deep state operatives, BIG PHARMA, everyone making money off of the tax payers. What happens after 90 days and they still haven't found kevies cure for cancer? Do taxpayers support another 90 days and umpteen more of millions of dollars for this Dr. Jekle or is it Hyde experimental BS! Mike

archie bunker Loc: Texas

You're right Mike. Big Pharma is a problem I see every day.
They have a pill for everything from an itchy butthole to a runny nose.
I think they're poisoning people with government support.

Of course they are. The whole system is corrupt. There is no reason a person would give up a lawyer or doctor job to take a job as a Rep or Sen. for $160,000.00 a year and have to pay for a separate house unless there was more in it than that. Not all, but most of those BASTARDS are on a direct slide to HELL! A pox on their houses except for the kids. The wives are in on it too! Mike
