About
OANN promoting the myth
On 2021-09-14, the right-wing group Judicial Watch announced[1] that it had received "198 pages of records and communications from the [FDA] involving "humanized mice" research with human fetal heads, organs and tissue". The evidence they present, however, does not seem to make any mention of human heads.
The use of fetal tissue for medical research has saved countless lives, and the sale of it at cost is generally legal[2] under Democratic presidents and illegal under Republicans, due to the GOP's embracing of the misnamed "pro-life" movement's longstanding campaign against it.
