Aborted Fetal Material Used in Anti-Wrinkle Creams
Neocutis in San Francisco Shameless
 TENNESSEE, Oct. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Children of God for Life announced today that Neocutis, a bio-pharmaceutical company focused on dermatology and skin care is using aborted fetal cell lines to produce several of their anti-aging skin creams.
"It is absolutely deplorable that Neocutis would resort to exploiting the remains of a deliberately slaughtered baby for nothing other than pure vanity and financial gain," stated executive director Debi Vinnedge. "There is simply no moral justification for this."
For years Children of God for Life has been a watchdog on pharmaceutical companies using aborted fetal cell lines in medical products and they have received thousands of inquiries from the public on the use of aborted fetal material in cosmetics.
Until now, this was the first time they have encountered any company bold enough to put the information right on their own website and product literature. A quick investigation into the science behind the products revealed the shameless data.
 Neocutis' key ingredient known as "Processed Skin Proteins" was developed at the University of Luasanne from the skin tissue of a 14-week gestation electively-aborted male baby donated by the University Hospital in Switzerland. Subsequently, a working cell bank was established, containing several billion cultured skin cells to produce the human growth factor needed to restore aging skin. The list of products using the cell line include: Bio-Gel, Journee, Bio-Serum, Prevedem, Bio Restorative Skin Cream and Lumiere. But Vinnedge is calling for a full boycott of all Neocutis products, regardless of their source.
"There is absolutely no reason to use aborted babies for such selfish motives," Vinnedge said. "It is anti-life, anti-woman and counter-productive as Neocutis is about to find out!"
Children of God for Life is calling on rival cosmetic companies to take advantage of some free advertising by their company.
"We know there are companies using moral sources for collagen and skin proteins. We intend to publicly promote these other cosmetic companies competing with Neocutis that are willing to step forward and contact us."
Meanwhile Vinnedge advises women who are using Neocutis products to throw them in the garbage and to contact the company to express their concerns.
In addition she advised, "Contact some of these competing companies and ask them to verify their products are morally produced. If they are willing to commit to it in writing, they will get our endorsement."

Aye yes I heard about this. Pretty sick! First they invent contraceptive drugs for women, they advocate abortion through pro-choice productive health care, they even have it in vaccinations, now they use aborted fetal ingredients in face creams. By they I mean the secular culture of death society. The creator of these creams must of had a dream and woke up in the middle of the night and said "by gosh golly I have an idea". Sick! Frankenstein experimentation once again. Hey just in time for the witch season.

After all, a fetus is a parasite, so if a company can gain a profit, or a person gain a better look, what is the harm in that? Many in America, and probably the world, will have no problem with this scenario (and, for the good liberal, wanting only to be sure that the "donating woman" is treated fairly, getting her fair share of the profit). Why is this not surprising? There would be no abortion in America if Catholics lived their faith. (But not for much longer, given the partial embrace of abortion rights, homosexual marriage, and other mortal sin activities by many American bishops.)

This is an absolute nightmare. When a woman uses these products, She is literaly smearing murdered children on her face. And I don't believe these products should be thrown in the trash. They should be given a decent burial in one's back yard with a Prayer to end this satanic act by this Company.

The correct spelling would seem to be Necrotis, no?

"Cosmetics is the science of a woman's cosmos" reads one of Karl Kraus's would-be sexist comments -- it would be sexist, I mean, in any other context than the present one.
See Karl Krauss, _Half-Truths and One-and-a-Half-Truths_, edited and translated by Harry Zohn (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1990 [1976].

We should ask for PETA'S public support for ANIMAL embryonic stem cells research with federal funding in order to produce a competing cheaper cosmetic. Funding human embryonic human stem cell research was lucrative for California scientists (and happily endorsed by Sen. Kay Bailey-Hutcheson for Texas!) after a huge deficit already existed there- but California still exists! The economy will recover much quicker if there is a public option for animal stem cell research.

Don't know where else to ask-It's PM in California and 5:00 PM in Texas and all I see are comments posted from about 3 to 9 AM. Maybe you need to put another nickel into the meter?

This should surprise no one! The worst part is that so many of our church leaders refuse to get involved with this horrific situation. They give huge amounts of money to ACORN and other "pro-justice" groups and fail to reject pro-death politicians! The hypocrisy knows no bounds! Kennedy gets a huge funeral even though he spent his entire career promoting the death of babies! The pro-life saints get nothing! Christ deserves better from his servants!

Skin cream has contained human fetal tissue for over thirty years ... it was a prolife issue back then.

The truth is even worse than the horrors revealed here! The company involved, neocurtis, is a spin off of a group of scum-bags in Europe at the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland that have NO respect for life! They play every game imaginable to avoid telling the truth! They have direct access to aborted babies and are using them as the basis for their products! (Think: Soilent green!) They refer to the skin of aborted babies as "fetal tissue" rather than reveal the truth...that they are making money from murdered babies!

I went to a seminar at a local parish here in my town about 6 or 7 years ago where Debi Vinnedge gave so much information about aborted fetal cell lines being used for vaccines. Parents NEED to know that aborted fetal cell lines are used in making many of the childhood and adult too vaccines. The childhood vaccine, MMR, measles, mumps. and reubella, contains aborted fetal cells. This is the most common childhood vaccine and parents are totally unaware of this. The Chicken Pox vaccine also contains aborted fetal cell lines. The sad thing is that with some, not all, of these vaccines there are ethical alternatives. There are others listed also on Debi's website: COGFORLIFE.ORG. I hope the editor posts this site since the article is about this wonderful and knowlegeable woman who has so much information about the pro-life cause concerning vaccines and ethical alternatives to these tainted vaccines. There is so much to learn from her. God bless this woman.

Woody, PETA would naturally say it is immoral to use animal embryonic stem cells for cosmetics, even as some put on their Lumiere.

While growing up I and all others I knew of had mumps, red measles, chickenpox ... each one was a two week event. I do not know of anyone then that failed to emerge in healthy condition. Now we are being sold the hype that we all need to be vaccinated from the flu. Has anyone ever done a study to determine why some people died and most lived from the "Spanish" influenza? What about nutrition? That flu spread through the troops ... were they eating fresh veges? fresh fruits? What about the civilians? What were their diets? My father's mother died from it; my mother's mother survived it while pregnant with my mother. The first lived in Wyoming where the fresh produce would have been relatively scarce much of the year; whereas, the second lived in Dallas where access to fresh produce was easy --- that grandmother always provided truck farm produce for us, and her husband's family as was often the norm grew veges in their gardens in a land half way between the cold north and the warm south. I know from long repeatable experience that fresh lemons do wonders for colds and flu, and along with fresh veges and lots of water and lots of sleep -- but the govt can't make money and gain power off these things, so it comes up with technology to buy your souls.

After reading this piece, I'm convinced that a significant minority of the human race have their arms and fists raised in PERPETUAL DEFIANCE of Almighty God, and seem to be just BEGGING for Him to make them OBEY his moral law; my sincere advice to them: be VERY CAREFUL of what you wish for. God's anger cannot be very far off when women use MURDERED pre-born human's cells for their beauty. We're talking about pretty DEPRAVED PEOPLE here.--GOD BLESS ALL--MARKRITE

JLS, you asked "Has anyone ever done a study to determine why some people died and most lived from the "Spanish" influenza?" A: Yes, check out the vitimin D council's website for a summary. Those with the highest death rates from that flu were those with the lowest exposure to sunlight such as coalminers and men below decks on ships. Those who got sunlight exposure and thus Vit D had much higher survival rates.

Angelo hey that's something to consider. By gosh good fellow, there's a thought, a proper burial. Hey Dan, yes why isn't PETA all over this? Why? Because animals are more important than humans. That's their views. They are politically correct, bunch of shyte and hypocrisy from the PETA people.

Very sad. But, for many in this day and age, God truly is dead, and when there is no God, human beings have no intrinsic value. We are being attacked on all fronts. We must be involved. Annually I and my family attend the pro-life march and picket our local abortion clinic regularly. Recently we've also become involved in the tea party movement. MAKE NO MISTAKE what is going on in congress, the fight that is upon us for health care reform, cap and trade(tax) the expansion of this government run largely by immoral people -- these are ALL PRO-LIFE/ANTI-DEATH battles. Losing any of these battles will ensure the government can tell you how many kids you can have, penalize you (at first anyway) for having too many children and creating too much CO2 and the list of constraints upon your ability to lead a moral life go on from there. The devil is in full battle mode. He has succeeded in destroying most men's ability to even sort out or even acknowledge the existence of the truth through years and years of indoctrination in schools, through the media etc. If you're not involved in what seem to you to be "political/financial" fights, I encourage you to give these movements more thought. Pray and get involved in all you can to combat what's going on in this country. In an earlier post someone mentioned Nazis. If the devil has his way with this country, we may not see as many murders (?) but the number of souls to be lost could be the new holocaust. Boycotting is definitely good, but it feels a bit like we're fighting the symptom, not the cause. It might be too late to fight the cause. Hopefully not. GET INVOLVED!
