Orphans 13 And Under
In Egypt 'Killed For Organs'
And Profit

Authorities in Egypt are investigating claims that a welfare
organisation has murdered homeless orphans in its care and sold their body
parts to private hospitals for transplants.


An inquiry into the allegations, made by 10 members of
parliament, is being conducted by Ragaa el-Arabi, the country's general
prosecutor.

The organisation, in Minufiya in the Nile delta, is
accused of systematically killing children under the age of 13. The
parliamentarians, who are from the same region, said their suspicions were
aroused when 25 out of 32 children at the home died in the space of three
months.

The Ministry of Social Affairs said a previous investigation found the
deaths were due to "gross negligence" and there was
evidence of financial and administrative irregularities.

But the MPs claim the orphans were killed for profit,
"with large sums of money involved and with the knowledge and collaboration
of certain powerful figures". The organs of the children, they say, are on
sale for up to $30,000 (£19,000).

The accusations come amid political conflict over organ
transplants. At present such operations, with the exception of those
involving corneas, are banned. Legislation is due to be introduced soon to
remove most restrictions and opponents of the reform fear it will lead to
widespread abuse. They cite past cases of donors being exploited to provide
transplants in Egypt for wealthy Gulf Arabs.

An official at the Interior Ministry in Cairo said: "They [the MPs] are
saying there is corruption and the killings are taking
place with the knowledge of important people and nothing is being done
because these children are poor. The problem is there is not much regulation
of these welfare organisations."

There have been reports in the past about alleged
black-market trading in organs in other countries. A recent investigation
said that 800 children vanished in 12 months in Honduras, central America,
with the suspicion that they had been killed for transplants.

The Chinese have also been accused of trading in body
parts of executed prisoners. Last year a prominent dissident, Harry Wu,
presented United States congressmen with photographs which he said proved
prisoners were routinely cut up by doctors after being shot.

In New York last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested
two Chinese nationals, one a former state prosecutor,
who were attempting to arrange a "guaranteed" supply of 50 kidneys a year.

PRICE LISTS FOR ABORTED BABY PARTS
Re-printed with the permission from the Alberta Report

The Wholesalers
by Celeste McGovern

A full-colour, glossy brochure invites abortionists to "find out how
you can turn your patient's decision into something wonderful." It's
printed by Opening Lines, A Division of Consultative and Diagnostic
Pathology, Inc., a wholesale trafficker in aborted baby parts from American
clinics. Out of an office in West Frankfort, IL, the company's director,
Dr. Miles Jones, profits from an evidently tremendously lucrative trade -
his current "Fee for Services Schedule" offers eyes and ears for $75 to $999
for a brain.
Opening Lines was founded in 1989 to "maximize the utilization of
fresh fetal tissue we process." It offer researchers "the highest quality,
most affordable, and freshest tissue prepared to your specifications and
delivered in the quantities you need when you need it."
Sale of human tissue, including fetal tissue, is against federal
law, but Opening Lines advises patients how "simple" it is to get around
that. It offers to "lease space from your facility to perform the harvesting
to offset your clinic's overhead." It also offers to train clinic staff in
harvesting and then "based on volume, reimburse part or all of your
employee's salary, thereby reducing your overhead."
Dr. Jones is obviously adept at getting around inconvenient
regulations. "We DO NOT require a copy of your IRB approval or summary of
your research," he advises prospective clientele, "and you ARE NOT required
to site Opening Lines as the source of tissue when you publish your work (we
believe in word of mouth advertising; if you like our service you will tell
your colleagues.")

Opening Lines is one of two wholesale traffickers, uncovered by Mark
Crutcher at Life Dynamics Inc. a pro-life in Denton Texas. The other is the
Anatomic Gift Foundation (AGF). Founded in 1994 by Jim and Brenda Bardsley,
it originally operated out of a double-wide trailer at the end
of a dirt road on the Satilla River in Georgia where the couple also ran a
catfish farm. It has since moved its headquarters to Laurel, MD and now has
operations in Phoenix, AZ and Aurora, CO.
Life Dynamics' sources inside abortion clinics acquired "feeschedules"
for both organizations. Opening Lines' is the more detailed of the two,
listing prices for organs from fetuses under eight weeks gestation and over.
An "intact trunk (with/without limbs)" costs $500, for example, a
liver, $150, ("30% discount if significantly fragmented").
The prices "in effect until December 31, 1999" may seem low, observes
Mr. Crutcher, but add up all the parts and single aborted baby is worth
thousands. "Our daily average case volume exceeds 1500 and we serve
clinics across the United States," says Opening Lines' brochure.
Mr. Crutcher says that Dr. Jones is an aggressive salesman, eager to
offer him reduced rates for bulk orders. He also said in a recent taped
interview that he is actively pursuing fetal tissue sources in Mexico and in
Canada.
