I found a recent article in The Dispatch to be both fascinating (and troubling). It described the dilemma of pro-life advocates who are confronted with the fact that many current COVID treatments are created using tissue of cells derived from abortions, sometimes performed decades ago. This is a pretty widespread issue in medical research; fetal tissues are a research source on everything from disease cures to vaccines. Many in the pro-life community are very concerned about this. On the one hand, no one would dispute counting all the costs and benefits; these treatments are saving lives on the net. To many, this is proof they are the right moral choice, and objectors are simply sticking their heads in the sand.
