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."

(70,259 posts)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.
