"Lobotomies can really lighten your load." . . . . Please come CAPTION Ben Carson!!!!




Ben (A cattle prod to the frontal lobe) Carson is saying: "I know I said every fetus is a human and should be so treated and any use of fetal tissue for medical research was not only unnecessary, but relies on heinous acts for procurement, . . . "harvesting," I think they call it. . . . But when I did it in 1992, it was entirely different. The fetus in question had died long before, the abortion was preformed without the aid of government funds, and there as a world-wide epidemic . . . I was searching for a cure to save mankind from REC, or Right-Brain Empathetic Consultation, in which sufferers involuntarily consulted the moral centers of the brain before acting or talking (and I think, by the way, my team made some remarkable advances) . . . . At any rate, it was an entirely different case."

time I ever heard it -and I did not quite understand it as I am a farm gal--we harvested crops for the dairy cows on the farm

Anyway-I grew up and went into Nursing and on day we had a horrible accident incident enter the ICU--a 10 year old in car accident. We tried to save him but to many internal bleeding problems. He was declared briain dead-after 24 hrs again declared brain dead (hospital policy at the time was to go a brain scan then another in 24 hrs). The University team had to wait to 'harvest' the young organs until that period of time was over. I remember that day because I thought at the time word harvest sounded so odd--so something....I still cringe when I hear the term although I know good comes from it. I remember the parents being devastated--but also they found some peace knowing his organs will help other people.

That's why Carson "used" the term in the fictional CAPTION: to make Planned Parenthood sound inhuman.

He has told me that he forgives me and wants you to know that Fantastic Four was not fantastic at all. He blames Obama for that movie.
