Fetus Used in Softdrinks?

An Oklahoma lawmaker has proposed legislation to ban any use of fetuses in food in one of the more bizarre twists in the emotive US battle over abortion.

The bill comes after wild rumors began circulating online and among anti-abortion groups that soft drink giant, Pepsi, was using aborted fetuses in its products. The company has denounced the urban legend as completely false.

''PepsiCo does not conduct or fund research that utilizes any human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos,'' spokesman Peter Land told AFP Wednesday.

The rumors were originally triggered by a patent application by a Pepsi supplier which cited the use of the HEK293 cell line in developing processes for an artificial taste-tester.

Originally derived from the kidneys of an aborted fetus in the 1970s, HEK293 is an easy-to-clone line of cells widely used in biotech research.

Oklahoma state senator Ralph Shortey said he has been researching the issue for about a year and is concerned there are no rules preventing the use of embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue in food and other products.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Putting too much emotions on something that is not so serious. HEK293 are nothing but polyclonal proteins. It is the same mechanism in how people take synthetic insulin, which is a clonal derivative. It is the same mechanism as how some people drink "Lactase-infused Milk" , which is taken by Lactose-Intolerant people. The "lactase-infusion" comes from synthetic human lactase gene. The same biochemical infusion techniques applies for the HEK293 polyclonal derivative.

Excessive unnecessary clamor.
