Feds Have Not Decided Whether to Extend UCSF's Contract to Humanize Mice With Aborted Baby Parts

(CNSNews.com) - The National Institutes of Health says the federal government has not yet decided whether to extend a multi-million-dollar contract with the University of California, San Francisco that requires the university to “obtain human fetal tissue” from aborted babies to use in creating what the federal contract calls “humanized mice.”

Under its current terms, the “Humanized Mouse Models for HIV Therapeutics Development” contract is set to expire on Dec. 5—unless the government chooses to extend it.

“There has been no final decision on the contract extension,” NIH told CNSNews.com on Wednesday, Nov. 14, in response to an inquiry CNSNews.com made on Friday, Nov. 9.
