You're suggesting that embryonic tissue has kidneys that might be sold on the black market for transplantation into a human? Or into another unborn embryo?

Kidney start working as in producing urine at about 13 weeks, which is already second trimester. So you wouldn't usually get an abortion that late, even in California.

Furthermore a 13 week old embryo is a little under 3 inches long, and the kidney is less than 5/12ths of an inch, whereas a human kidney is about 5 inches long.

So you wouldn't be able to sell it on the black market, as the surgeon will immediately spot that its nowhere near big enough to transplant into a human, as it will be about 1/12 of the length and about 1/1700 the weight of a kidney.

But you know this already, don't you?

Wow. What a long winded argument you made against your own assumptions. Simply because I pointed out that the human body has a price that can be assigned to it. You dumb. But not as dumb as that straw man you beating up.

Wow.

Golly gosh.

What a long winded argument you made against your own assumptions.

No my assumptions. Against your ridiculous claim that fetal tissue must have a black market because it's possible to sell a kidney for transplantation.

Simply because I pointed out that the human body has a price that can be assigned to it.

Nice back-down. But your claim that you were making a comment irrelevant to the thread beggars belief. You were lying and you know it.

You dumb. But not as dumb as that straw man you beating up.

Ad-homonem arguments don't help you.

The fact is that a first trimester embryo doesn't have "body parts" such as kidneys to sell.

Embryonic tissue it's useful to research for the stem cells, not for organs.
