Aborted Human Fetal Cells for Stimulating Artificial Flavors

Biotech companies have been using aborted human fetal cells for testing the effectiveness of different flavoring agent in their products. Last year the news came out that a biotech company in CA called Senomyx has been using aborted human fetal cells in foods and beverages.

A pro-life watchdog group called Children of God for Life (CGL) has been calling the marketing scheme of the biotech companies deceptive and use of aborted human fetal cells unethical and immoral. Debi Vinnedge, the director of CGL in an interview mentions that why the biotech doesn’t come out clean and tell the public that they are using human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) taken from aborted babies to produce human taste receptors?

The HEK 293 is the code for aborted human kidney cells that are used to generate taste receptors that can stimulate a type of protein known as G protein familiar to human’s taste.

Beside Synomyx, PepsiCo also continues to use aborted human fetal cells in their drinks. Last year the shareholders of PepsiCo signed a petition that required the company to adopt ethical ways to enhance the natural flavoring of their drinks and stop using human aborted fetuses. However, the Obama administration shut down the proposal and gave their blessing to PepsiCo to continue the use of aborted babies as flavor enhancer in their drinks which means business as usual.

In an interview Debi Vinnedge, the director of CGL also mentions how the biotech has taken the whole thing into a new level by even exploiting the aborted fetuses for profit.

Based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the dead human tissues are also found in flu vaccines beside other substances like aluminum, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate (MSG), mercury and antibiotics. Aborted Human fetal cells for stimulating artificial flavors

I guess what amazes me most is how easily distracted we get, and the end result is garbage like this. Government sanctioned and protected garbage. Kind of gives Soylent Green a whole new perspective.

 

[Yurt]

how is this legal? where is the FDA or did they actually approve this.

this is unreal, soylent green is real though....

I thought that was debunked but I guess I was wrong.

Someone please tell me this isn't so. But please tell me with facts.

If this is true, it is the ultimate evil

Definitely you get human products in things like gamma globulin, factor VIII, blood products, etc. And that's nothing new at all. Not so much insulin any more because bacteria have been created that make human insulin. HeLa cells used in cancer research are human cancer cells harvested in the 1950s from a woman named Helen Lax.

Cosmetics have contained human products for a long time, namely placentas.

Remind me to tell the waitress, 'NO Pepsi is NOT OK!'

PepsiCo has come under fire from pro-life advocates because it has been contracting with a research firm that uses fetal cells from babies victimized by abortions to test and produce artificial flavor enhancers.

Now, the Obama administration is set to face more criticism because an agency has declared that Pepsi’s use of the company and its controversial flavor testing process constitutes “ordinary business.”

In a decision delivered February 28, the Security and Exchange Commission ruled that PepsiCo’s use of aborted fetal remains in their research and development agreement with Senomyx to produce flavor enhancers falls under “ordinary business operations.”

Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director of Children of God for Life, the organization that exposed the PepsiCo- Senomyx collaboration last year, informed LifeNews today that a letter signed by Attorney Brian Pitko of the SEC Office of Chief Counsel was sent in response to a 36-page document submitted by PepsiCo attorneys in January 2012. In that filing, PepsiCo pleaded with the SEC to reject a Shareholder’s Resolution filed in October 2011 that the company “adopt a corporate policy that recognizes human rights and employs ethical standards which do not involve using the remains of aborted human beings in both private and collaborative research and development agreements.”

PepsiCo lead attorney George A. Schieren noted that the resolution should be excluded because it “deals with matters related to the company’s ordinary business operations” and that “certain tasks are so fundamental to run a company on a day-to-day basis that they could not be subject to stockholder oversight.”

Vinnedge said she is appalled by the apathy and insensitivity of both PepsiCo executives and the Obama administration.

“We’re not talking about what kind of pencils PepsiCo wants to use – we are talking about exploiting the remains of an aborted child for profit,” she said. “Using human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) to produce flavor enhancers for their beverages is a far cry from routine operations.

Why would the Federal Government run cover , rather than at the least require labeling, so an informed public could at least decide for themselves? The same holds for genetic modification of crops, where human DNA becomes part of the food chain. Even Vegans are not safe from this. It does also give new meaning to the term "Artificially Flavored".

Facts about Pepsi aborted fetal cell controversy - Jill Stanek

Does not appear to be debunked.

Jill Stanek was the same person who claimed aborted fetuses were being left to die in hospital closets in Illinois.




In 2010 Senomyx entered into a four-year collaborative agreement to develop sweet enhancers and natural high-potency sweeteners for PepsiCo beverages, but as far as we have been able to ascertain, no Pepsi products vended to the general public have yet included any Senomyx-derived ingredients.

Pepsi's official response to the Senomyx issue so far has been to point inquirers to its Responsible Research Statement, which states that "PepsiCo's research processes and those of our partners are confidential for competitive reasons. However, PepsiCo does not conduct or fund research that utilizes any human tissue or cell lines derived from human embryos." We contacted the Media Relations department at PepsiCo and posed some specific questions to them about their relationship with Senomyx but received only non-specific answers in response: PepsiCo has a relationship with Senomyx to help us reduce sugar in future products. Senomyx does not provide ingredients to PepsiCo, nor does it manufacture PepsiCo products. Senomyx is required to abide by our responsible research statement for any work they conduct for PepsiCo. As with each of our research partners, Senomyx is also required to meet all relevant industry and government regulatory standards in the work it performs for PepsiCo.

We can't speak on behalf of another company or address speculation about work involving other companies.

If they ever need the flavor "Shit" they can use your cells.

What do you suggest we do with them?

Might as well make hay while the sun shines.

Do what you would do with any human being when they die. Bury them.

So hypothetical question for the wingnuts.

If someone took the medical waste from an abortion clinic and developed a cure for cancer, would that be equally abhorent as this mythical flavor technology?
