What does an article about disposal of human remains have to do with
th ethics of abortion?  Would a capital punishment argument be somehow
clarified if we knew what happened to the alleged criminals' corpses?

I also would like to see the documentation.  Also, what is Ms. Fairfax's
Ph.D. in?  

To pick one point at random, collagen is readily available from
established sources at slaughterhouses.  It is abundant and cheap.
Why would anybody bother to use human fetuses?  Especially since
the inevitable negative PR would kill sales?
