Havana, Cuba, Jan 11, 2005 / 22:00 pm
In the midst of the controversy surrounding the Cuban government’s decision to deny a well-known doctor the chance to visit her family in Argentina, the newspaper “Nuevo Siglo On Line” published an article maintaining that the real reason for the decision has to do with the abortion industry promoted by the Castro regime.
The article reveals that the doctor in question, Dr. Hilda Molina, belongs to the International Center for Neurological Restoration (ICNR), an institution funded by the Cuban government and which discovered how to use the spinal cells and neurological tissue of human embryos for regenerative purposes in adult nerve tissue. In order for the process to work, the tissue must be extracted from a live human embryo.
Citing passages from a book by the Center’s director, Dr. Julian Alvarez, the article explains that, “Currently 100,000 abortions take place each year. The ICNR can therefore easily obtain the embryonic tissue for use in these treatments.”
“The Cuban government, by the way, uses these 100,000 abortions for its statistics of a ‘low infant mortality rate’ in Cuba,” the article adds.
