The US National Institute Of Health recommended in favor of 14 research
projects involving fetal tissue after scientific and ethical reviews.
However in 2019 on presidential orders a new 15 member board was created to
impose an extra layer of ethical review on such matters. At least 10 of the
15 members have publicly expressed their opposition to any form of
abortion. Last week this new panel rejected 13 of the 14 research
proposals. There is no appeal.
