If it cost you 30 dollars extra to do something and you sell it for thirty dollars....have you made a profit?
Are you ok with aborted fetuses being used for medical research?
Would you rather they just dump the fetus in the trash?

"This is not something with any revenue stream that affiliates are looking at; this is a way to offer patients the services they want and do good for the medical community and still maintain access," Nucatola tells the actors.
This is really the bottom line argument:
Even if these issues are addressed and rules are followed, that is unlikely to settle a core ethical disagreement: that research using tissues from aborted fetuses is wrong because abortion is wrong. This gets to the first objection from the bioethicists' earlier list: that "the transplantation of tissue from an electively aborted fetus is morally inseparable from the morality of elective abortion."
For abortion opponents who take this view (and not all abortion opponents do), there's no way to make the use of fetal tissue in research acceptable: It will never be okay for the remains of aborted fetuses to be used for any purpose, research or otherwise.
"For critics of abortion, the idea of making something good from something they see as inherently evil is not something they have room for," Caplan says.
