Abstract:

Using fetal brain cells for therapeutic purposes after a spontaneous abortion can be justified under similar pre-conditions like the removal of an organ post mortem. With an artificially induced abortion, however, there is the danger of justifying the act of abortion by combining it with that positive purpose. In this case any therapeutic utilization of fetal brain cells would only be justifiable, if every step of such a procedure could completely be isolated from the ethically unjustifiable abortion.
