The actress who died from stem cells. Thirst for eternal youth. The cause of the death of stars - stem cell treatment? Can stem cells cause cancer?
Opera singer Dmitry Hvorostovsky, who was diagnosed with brain cancer, became another victim of the “youth injections”. The use of "stem cells" is somewhat of an occult act, as those who use the injections often become accomplices in the murder of babies in the womb. Indeed, "and every one shall be rewarded according to his deeds..."
Doctors diagnosed the world-famous opera singerDmitry Hvorostovskybrain tumor. He has already canceled all summer concerts and is starting treatment this week. The singer's fans express words of support and wish him a speedy recovery.
The official website of Hvorostovsky reports that recently Dmitry complained of feeling unwell, as a result of which he could not perform at the Vienna Opera. Hvorostovsky underwent a medical examination, after which the doctors made a disappointing diagnosis.
Laureate of numerous Russian and international competitions, a native of Krasnoyarsk, the 52-year-old singer is not only famous, but also very popular in the world. His concerts are invariably sold out.
It is characteristic that just a few days ago a pop singer was buried Zhanna Friske who was diagnosed with the same diagnosis a year ago. According to media reports, the singer was fond of anti-aging procedures and made herself an embryonic stem cell transplant ( left - Friske before and after surgery to remove the tumor, performed in the United States).
Earlier, an employee of a private clinic in Moscow confirmed that many actors get addicted to stem cells for the sake of rejuvenation, not at all a myth or an “inflated sensation”, but the truth of life. As a result, beauty fighters become victims of stem cell technology.
"PUBLIC ICONS"...
The patients of this clinic were Alexander Abdulov and Oleg Yankovsky. Both of these actors tried to rejuvenate by injecting stem cells taken from babies into the body. At first, Yankovsky was very pleased with the effect - after the injections, he began to look great, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out, and the body was being renewed. The procedure was advised by his friend Abdulov, who also underwent "miracle cell treatment".
To physicians, cell technology also seemed like a panacea for all ills. The analyzes of famous patients showed that in the body of the actors there is a renewal, an acceleration of vital activity. However, terrible statistics soon appeared: those who used stem cells first really got younger, and then quickly “burned out” from cancer. They had a rapid growth of cancer cells. Abdulov, Yankovsky,Polishchuk, Clara Luchko, Turchinsky (Dynamite), Yuri Aizenshpis, Anna Samokhina- all used stem cells and quickly passed away. Ex-husband of an actress Samokhina Alexander said that he and his daughter were in shock when the doctors told them right away: “ Treat late, live two months».
Nature is hard to fool. No one knows what side effects cellular rejuvenation has. For example, the former President of Ukraine Yushchenko suffered less from stem cells than other beauty victims. But what happened to Yushchenko's face is a consequence of his "cardinal rejuvenation."
The deaths of fighters for beauty frighten even doctors. The representative of the clinic is now sure that the cancer of the "celebrities" was the result of their rejuvenation.
MEDICAL CRIME
In Russia, the use of stem cells is not legally regulated, although it is considered unsafe. The use of the method itself is still very poorly studied by science, it is done only on a commercial basis and semi-legally. Transplantation of embryonic stem cells into an adult can increase the recipient's risk of developing tumors, both benign and malignant.
Typically, embryonic stem cells extracted from "abortion materials" are used. The later the abortion is performed, the higher the value of the embryo among those involved in stem cells. As a result, cases have become more frequent, especially in the spiritually deformed post-Soviet space, when doctors offer to have an abortion at a later date, allegedly "for medical reasons." Actually, this market demand because due to the rapid development of stem cell business» even began to be observed "shortage of abortive materials".
The technique is extremely dangerous, given that such cells have alien hereditary information. If the immune system is in good condition, foreign cells are absorbed by their own immune cells (white blood cells). But at the same time, genetic information occurs, programs stranger vital functions are assimilated and transmitted to its cells of the body. As a result, the cells of the body for some time begin to actively divide "like a baby." What consequences this entails - no one can say.
In addition, not only healthy, but also pathological cells - mutants, including malignant ones, are actively dividing, the more of them, the older the organism. The temporary impulse of youth passes and decline returns, and then various consequences appear. So, if the introduced cells take root, then due to the contradiction with the cells of the body and the immune system, they themselves often degenerate into cancerous ones. In any case, this is a stressful effect on the immune system, against the background of which any pathology or unpleasantness of fate can be realized.
In addition, sometimes embryonic materials of animals (fish, pigs) are used. In this case, there is a risk of becoming a carrier of viruses unusual for humans. There is practically no control in this area, since such a “method of rejuvenation” is officially not allowed.
"ROULETTE OR GAME WITH DEATH"
There are different statistics of the consequences of the use of embryonic stem cells - according to some data, 30% of patients become cancer patients, other data sound differently: the incidence of cancer after this therapy triples.
Due to the secrecy of the information, it is difficult to say what the real level of danger of this "youth therapy" is.
Use of stem cells: Valery Leontiev, Lev Leshchenko, Alexander Buinov and look much younger than their age. Yankovsky advised to do "cellular rejuvenation" Alexander Zbruev, Pevtsov. Polischuk brought her friends. We talked about Leonid Yarmolnik, Elina Bystritskaya, Lyudmila Gurchenko, but all actors publicly claim that they "look good because they have good genes." It is known that the ex-mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov he injected stem cells, and after him, many of his deputies and politicians got hooked on the needle.
But a few “successfully rejuvenated” characters in this way are hardly worth it, then with a high probability of becoming hopelessly ill.
A rare exception for children - does not reduce the risks for "adult idols of the public". Stem cells are also of another origin - from one's own adipose tissue or one's own umbilical cord blood. Own cells are naturally preferred. In official medicine, stem cells from one's own umbilical cord blood are effectively used to treat 45 diseases in children, including cancer. But children are a special case. The cells of a child's body are radically different from the cells of an adult body. And the assimilation of stem cells is different. In general, oncology is cured in many children. They, due to the heightened perception, are more likely to draw useful experience from their situation even in the case of healing. But for adults, the use of such cells can be dangerous due to the reasons already mentioned.
Any danger, including a therapeutic one, is more likely to have bad consequences. Therefore, do not rush to apply new, time-tested methods.
... THEY ARE THE PERSONS
“Do not make for yourself an idol and any likeness, a fir tree in heaven, a mountain, and a fir tree on the earth below, and a fir tree in the waters under the earth: do not bow down to them, nor serve them ...”Acting - or acting, is a "profession of passion and sin", not by chance Canon 55 of the Council of Carthage reads : « Shameful and mocking at spectacles and other such persons, or apostates who repent and turn to God, let them not be deprived of grace or reconciliation». From this rule and its interpretation of the fathers of the Ecumenical Councils, it is clear that if an Orthodox person became an actor (actor, pretender), then such a sin is equated with the sin of apostasy from the Orthodox faith (the sin of apostasy).
From the 55th and 74th rules it is clear that any hypocrisy is a sin, unorthodox and any disgrace(gr. theatron, "spectacle", "theater"). Which explains why earlier actors- actors buried outside the fence of the Orthodox cemetery. At the same time, the 45th rule of the same council reconciles the actors with the church and vouchsafes holy communion if they repent and leave their service.
Priests today explain that when these rules were drawn up, the theater was "mystical." Those. included actions of a religious nature related to pagan cults and "entertainment". Participation in such spectacles involved the viewer in the mystery of the action, required the adoption of this philosophy and worldview.
The mass spectacles of that time also had a bloody aspect. It is no coincidence that the apostle Paul(1 Cor 4:9) compares the life and destiny of the apostle with the struggle of gladiators sentenced to death, who, in ancient ideas, had to fight each other and with wild animals in front of an audience thirsting for spectacles. When, during the persecution of Christians, instead of gladiators, convicted Christians began to be released into the arena, Paul's metaphor acquired real content (perhaps as early as Heb 10:33; compare with 1 Cor 15:32).
Meanwhile, Christianity profoundly changed the very essence of the theatre. In its best manifestations, it has become a platform for preaching Christian values, morality and goals.
christian saint Ardalion(305 - 311), martyr - was a talented mimic actor ("actor"). Once he happened to play the role of a Christian. According to the author's intention, the actor had to first refuse to sacrifice to idols, and then agree to renounce Christ. In the course of the action, Ardalion was hung up on a tormenting tree and began to torment with iron hooks. He portrayed suffering so naturally that the audience was delighted and loudly expressed their praise of his art.
Suddenly, the actor ordered everyone to shut up and announced that he was really a Christian and would not deny the Lord. The ruler of the city tried to present the matter in such a way that Ardalion continues to play a role, and at the end of the spectacle, he will renounce Christ and sacrifice to the gods. But Ardalion continued to confess his faith in Christ. Then the ruler ordered that the martyr be thrown onto a red-hot brazier...
But the modern theater is once again returning to its original state of the cult of passions. Many modern public actions are categorically contraindicated for a Christian if he does not want to let the infection of vice and immorality into his soul.
There is also a purely individual sin of the actors themselves, who in the first place put a passionate desire to please the public (passions are sins associated with great pleasure from their commission). So one actress, when they tried to hint at possible complications from the “youth injections”, said: “ It doesn't matter to me what will happen to me later, in a few years, but I want to look young today, now! Because without the work I love, I just can’t survive!
In addition, often the actor "experiences" what in life he may not have experienced even once. And it turns out that his feelings are artificially squeezed out for the sake of the role. It's not that the actor got used to it and began to experience the feelings of the hero - fear, hatred, which can then somehow negatively affect him, but that the real, living feelings of this actor lose their meaning, because they can be of a different quality. For example, Natalya Varley still regrets that she played a witch. Many actors bring themselves to the borderline, as a result of which they commit suicide ...
The Church does not ban the work of the actor, but notices that his occupation is among the spiritually dangerous (among the spiritually dangerous professions, for example, the ministry of a judge - since it is associated with a daily violation of the literal meaning of the gospel commandment “do not judge”). The Church is obliged to warn the actor that the occupation he has chosen is spiritually dangerous, since the actor must be able to "reincarnate" in his character, in his not only thoughts, but also passions. As a result, the actor may be in danger of dissolving into another person, losing himself.
It is passion that pushes many actors to “fit into the market” and “stay in the ranks” as long as possible. The same goes for politicians, who are, for the most part, morbidly ambitious and vain. Politicians are the same actors, or rather hypocrites - often in the worst sense of the word, because painfully striving for power.
But there is another, and probably the main aspect in the illness and death of "public idols" from injections of "stem cells", namely them -
COMPLICITY IN INFANT MURDER
The determination to turn to an untested method is born in a soul that needs hard admonition. Indiscretion and thoughtlessness manifested itself in the choice of an absolutely immoral means of rejuvenation.
"Good gesheft" on the murder of babies in the womb of matter. As we noted earlier, obtained as a result of abortion. All these vaccines are produced by large pharmaceutical corporations (including those represented in Russia by GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co, etc.). Corporations support a special medical journal - "The Fetus as a Donor for Transplantation: Scientific, Social and Ethical Perspectives", created by Peter McCullough, an immunologist at the University of Western Australia. It describes some of the technologies that have previously been used to obtain embryonic brain tissue.
For example, in Sweden, they pierced the placenta of a pregnant woman at 14 to 16 weeks, then fastened a clamp on the baby's head, pulled the head into the cervix, drilled holes in the baby's head, and then, using a special machine, sucked out the brain cells. Healthy human fetuses from 7 to 21 weeks of age obtained from legal abortions were used. The liver and kidneys of the fetus were quickly removed and weighed. Such abortions at 16, 16 and 21 weeks are called prostaglandin. A special substance is injected into the uterus, and the baby is born prematurely. In 50% of cases, a child is born alive, but this does not stop anyone! They simply open the baby's tummy without any anesthesia to extract the liver and kidneys.
Abortions are a "good deal". The market for abortionists over the past 30 years in the United States alone has amounted to more than $6 billion, excluding the income of physicians, which they receive from the sale of organs. But the most massive deliveries come from Slavic unborn "goyim".
Almost everyone knows where "stem cells" come from. For example, most normal people refused to use the products of the corporation " Pepsi when it was discovered that they were using flavor enhancers developed from cells derived from the kidneys of a human embryo - an unborn white girl from Holland. The boycott campaign played its part, and the .
But besides the inhuman organizers of the crime, there are "conscious consumers of their 'products'".
The use of "abortion material" is sinful in itself and is a kind of occult act - a manifestation of "vampirism" or "necromancy" - as the actors become accomplices in the murder of babies in the womb. Parts of a murdered baby enter the body or decompose, respectively, the person is connected with the world of the dead, which, according to occult ideas, " increases the fulfillment of desires».
And every one will be rewarded according to his deeds...
According to actor Stanislav Sadalsky in his blog, the development of oncology among many famous artists was provoked by anti-aging procedures.The other day, a sensational entry appeared in the Internet diary of the artist Stanislav Sadalsky:
Zhanna Eple asks:
- Why don't you write in your blog what caused the death of the actors Anya, Lyuba from Lenkom, Oleg, Sasha?
- Seems awkward.
- You're not right! Maybe this information will save the lives of many people ...
- OK.
Yes, with their help, a miracle happens for a short moment. For a year or two, the body becomes younger and renews itself ... But at the same time, the growth of cancer cells is provoked, and they devour the body instantly.
We got through to Stanislav Sadalsky to clarify whether we understood the artist's loud statement correctly.
- The names that you name in the blog are Anna Samokhina, Lyubov Polishchuk, Oleg Yankovsky and Alexander Abdulov?
Yes, - answered Sadalsky.
- And all of them were rejuvenated by stem cells?
Yes, they all rejuvenated. And we have lost these artists.
And here is how the Chief Oncologist of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, Academician Valery Chissov commented on the blogger:
Is it possible. Each cell develops like a person: from his birth to the moment when he becomes an adult. So the cell appears and becomes an adult. At what stage it can stop, in childhood or adolescence, this will be a malignant tumor.
COMMENTARY OF THE SPECIALIST
These cells can actually turn into cancer cells! The fact that successful, talented, beloved by the whole country actors died one after another - they literally burned out from a similar diagnosis, an inoperable tumor, gave rise to many rumors and speculation.
However, the version associated with stem cell rejuvenation is really serious and can explain a lot. Moreover, doctors have warned more than once: the safety of stem cells is far from proven!
Only two large scientific centers in Russia have permission to work with stem cells, - said the director of the Scientific Center for Biomedical Technologies of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician Nikolai Karkishchenko. - Do not even APPLY, but just work.
Stem cells, getting to a certain organ, begin to divide, turn into cells of this organ - and can restore it. Perhaps they could be used for rejuvenation. But stem cells can also go in the other direction. Being reborn, turn into cancer.
Officially, stem cell drugs should not be sold or used yet! And the fact that they can be found now in almost any hairdresser's - this should be dealt with by law enforcement agencies.

Recently, stem cells have again been in the spotlight - Ksenia Sobchak decided to freeze the stem cells of her newborn child in order to insure her health for the future. But the further, the louder the voices of critics sound, warning: stem cells are cruel killers, on account of which many lives of people's favorites. Editorial Days.Ru decided to look into this problem.
Dream of a panacea
A few days ago, the Russian media spread the news - a socialite who had just given birth. It was about the collection and long-term storage of umbilical cord blood, which contains infant stem cells, mainly responsible for the formation of blood cells. In some clinics, they are widely used to treat a variety of diseases, mainly oncological.
This procedure is still not widespread in Russia. According to the director of the Institute of Human Stem Cells Artur Isaev, cord blood is currently frozen by no more than 0.3% of Russian women giving birth. One of the reasons for such low statistics is probably the high cost of freezing - the same Ksenia Sobchak had to pay no less than 70 thousand rubles for the collection and storage of several milliliters of blood. And another 120,000 will cost the storage of a blood product until the current newborn comes of age.
It is possible to understand Ksenia and her husband Maxim Vitorgan - according to the opinion that is well-established not only in Russia, but throughout the world, stem cells are literally necessary for the widest range of diseases - from asthma and strokes to cardio-diseases and Parkinson's disease. It is no coincidence that only in the United States today there are about 600 clinics practicing stem cell therapy.
"I have treated dozens of patients with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - a common respiratory disease in the United States, - Approx. Ed.), And none of them complained later about the effectiveness of the treatment," says Dr. Daniel Ritacca, head of the clinic Stem Cell Therapy in Vernon Hills, Illinois. "I've seen amazing results in patients with multiple sclerosis. They literally got back on their feet that they couldn't move before. Many get better after just one treatment."
Miracle or deceit?
This is, so to speak, the position of one side. Quite a different opinion is shared by many professional doctors, medical ethicists and independent experts. Their unanimous verdict is that the use of stem cells is more likely to harm the patient than bring him a noticeable benefit. And we can talk not only about health, but also about life itself!
Here's what Leigh Turner, a professor at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine who is known for his skeptical views on this issue, says.
“Stem cell therapy is usually done by people who do not have the necessary qualifications in this field. They promise a lot, but their words are not based on serious experience,” he is sure. “Currently, neither in the United States nor in any other There are no officially approved guidelines for the use of stem cells for medical purposes anywhere in the world."
As an example, Turner cited two recent criminal cases from American practice. As a result of one of them, the license of a cardiologist was canceled, in which two patients died one after another during the course of stem cell treatment. And during the second, it turned out that the chief scientist of the clinic, which brought her patient to blindness, had a confirmed qualification only as an aerobics instructor.
Professor Turner's position is supported by such authoritative organizations as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, the drug control agency of the US Department of Health) and the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
"Currently, very few stem cell applications have been objectively demonstrated to be safe and effective," the FDA said. And the ISSCR urged maximum caution, as complications from such treatment carry "very real risks."
Stem cells are killers of stars
Risk warning is not just words. The elite of the Russian show business has already managed to feel the consequences of the unskilled use of stem cells by their own example. A few years ago, they were considered a universal remedy for rejuvenating the body, which attracted the attention of screen and pop stars to them. The results were literally devastating.
Lyubov Polishchuk died of spinal cancer in 2006. Alexander Abdulov died of lung cancer in 2008. Oleg Yankovsky became a victim of pancreatic cancer in 2009. Anna Samokhina died of stomach cancer in 2010. Zhanna Friske was unable to defeat brain cancer, dying in 2015. All these deaths are united not only by the stellar status of the deceased, but also by the fact that they all resorted to stem cell therapy.
The prospect of severe diseases is not speculation, but, as they say, a proven medical fact. Commenting on the risk of developing cancer after the use of stem cells, the chief oncologist of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, academician Valery Chissov, bluntly stated: “This is possible. Each cell develops like a person: from his birth to the moment when he becomes an adult. This is how a cell appears and becomes an adult. stage it can stop, in childhood or adolescence, this will be a malignant tumor.
This view is supported by other medical luminaries. In particular, Academician Pavel Vorobyov, who worked for several decades at the Moscow Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov, is sure that the topic of stem cells is actively exploited by unscrupulous businessmen from medicine.
“Non-existent properties are attributed to stem cells. The main thing is to convince potential clients to spend money. Everything suits: rejuvenate, cleanse, build up brains or hearts. This all sounds especially cynical when “treating” seriously ill patients, for example, with multiple sclerosis,” he said.
In conclusion, it remains to wish that everything was fine with the son of Xenia and Maxim, and he would not have a single reason to resort to such unsafe and risky procedures as stem cell therapy.
The death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky stirred up an acute topic - stem cell treatment.
How to explain that a great singer, a very handsome, athletic and healthy person, burned out from cancer, having lived only to 55 years old? And why couldn't the doctors of the best clinics help him?
Information appeared that treatment with embryonic stem cells played a negative role. It is discussed on the Internet that Hvorostovsky could have resorted to such therapy.
Surprisingly, the trace of such treatment can be traced in many other tragic deaths of famous actors - Lyubov Polishchuk in 2006, Alexandra Abdulova in 2008 Oleg Yankovsky in 2009 Anna Samokhina in 2010 Zhanna Friske in 2015 The list goes on, it includes athletes, politicians and other public people. All of them were successful, beautiful, far from old. And if someone was aged, then shortly before his death, he seemed to flourish, get younger. And suddenly cancer or some other inexplicable and strange disease appeared, which became the cause of death.
Are these side effects of stem cell treatment or are we just falling into conspiracy theories? It is clear that there is a concept of medical secrecy and doctors will be silent. Relatives and relatives could tell everything. But all the years that have passed since the death of many actors, they are also silent. So we can't be 100% sure that it's all about rejuvenating cells until no one has revealed this information to us.
However, a few years ago, information was leaked that the cause of many deaths was actually related to embryonic stem cell therapy. And what's more, in many cases, all this concerns one particular clinic.
This was told by a nurse working in this clinic. It seems that she was so shocked by the string of acting deaths that she violated professional secrecy. In this metropolitan clinic, Alexander Abdulov was successfully treated, as it seemed to him. Then he agitated his friend Oleg Yankovsky for this. At first, too, everything was wonderful, he seemed to have found a second youth. For him, it was probably even more surprising, because he was 9 years older than Abdulov. Analyzes and studies showed that both actors actually became younger. The people around you must have noticed it too. They say that famous actors even advised their colleagues in the theater to also receive treatment in this clinic.
Damn questions
Why doesn't it seem strange to us that people's favorites could be treated in such an exotic way? After all, its effectiveness and safety is a big question. From an ethical point of view, it is also compromised by many scandals around the collection of embryonic stem cells from abortive material. Today there are ways to obtain stem cells without abortion, from the patient's own cells. But it’s not very hard to believe that this complex method is used in clinics like the one where the actors were treated.
« In fact, there is nothing strange in the choice of such methods of treatment and clinics by our actors and public people, - says psychologist Yulia Gurevich . - These people are the elite, the cream of society, and they need elite treatments. Fashionable, expensive, not banal therapy for "three kopecks" . It's normal, that's how society works. Naturally, seeing an improvement in the state of health, other colleagues in the shop also willingly agreed to the same treatment. Why didn't they think about the possible consequences? To understand this, you need to have a special education and a penchant for analysis. These are very difficult questions. Talk to doctors and you will understand that even they do not have a consensus on the safety of stem cell treatment.».
So why do stem cells cause cancer?
This topic is actively discussed in the scientific press, but practically does not go beyond it. The latest study on this topic was published recently in the well-known journal Stem Cells and Translational Medicine (STEM CELLS Translational Medicine). The title of the article says: "Cancer cells, cancer stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells: their impact on the development of cancer." The latter cell type (MSC) appears to have the opposite properties. In some cases, these cells prevent the development of cancer, in others they contribute: MSCs can degenerate into the so-called cancer stem cell, which gives rise to the development of a tumor. Moreover, it is usually the most malignant and tenacious. The last property is one of the most important for stem cells. And in this they are very similar to cancer cells.
Cannibalism under the guise of "high technology"
Investing in cannibalism as a way to "multiply money dozens of times" in the "crisis period"
At present, a group of influential medical technocrats holding responsible positions in Russian health care and medical science are aggressively lobbying for the advancement in the country of the so-called " fetal therapy ».
Fetal therapy is based on the removal and use of tissues of human embryos and fetuses (lat. fetus), whose life is artificially interrupted at different stages of pregnancy, most often at 15–22 weeks. Fetal - germ - cells are introduced into the body of people suffering from various diseases, as well as in order to "rejuvenate" an aging body, and are even used in the production of cosmetics.
Today, this activity is officially classified in Russia as a high and highly profitable technologies ". For example, fetal therapy is promoted on the website of the so-called Institute of High Technologies.
Formally, the task of this institute is “financing projects in the field of high technologies” and “consolidating the scientific and technical potential of the Russian Federation and foreign partners” (1, 2). Moreover, one of the activities of the institute, as announced on the website, is to help investors find especially profitable areas that allow them not only to “save money” “in a crisis period”, but also “significantly increase it” - “tens of times” (! ).
Among such "gold veins" recommended by the institute for investing funds - in order to receive, as stated on the website, "vip-money" ("vip-money") - "the use of allogeneic fetal stem cells taken from human embryos, with treatment of patients with various types of diseases and pathologies (more than 30 diseases and pathologies). Behind this “highly scientific” name lies an activity that until recently was more often called simply “fetal therapy”.
Fetal Therapy more than once provoked sharp protests from the public, including the Orthodox. For example, in the statements of the Church-Public Council (CSP) on biomedical ethics of the Moscow Patriarchate, it is unambiguously called "a kind of cannibalism" (cannibalism).
The “Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church” (adopted by the Consecrated Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church on August 13-16, 2000) clearly states that “condemning abortion as a mortal sin, the Church cannot find justification for it even if, from the destruction of the conceived human life, one may possibly benefit from health benefits. Inevitably contributing to the even wider dissemination and commercialization of abortion, such a practice (even if its effectiveness, currently hypothetical, would be scientifically proven) is an example of blatant immorality and is criminal in nature.
"Live" Supplements from Unborn Babies to "Restore the Process of Understanding"
One of the most active advocates of fetal therapy in Russia is still Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS), Professor G. T. Sukhikh. This man, who since 2007 has been the head of the Moscow Federal State Institution Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology (FGU NTs AGiP) named after. V. I. Kulakov of Rosmedtekhnologii, sadly “famous” throughout Russia for the fact that, since the 1990s, it has been stubbornly promoting fetal cannibalism in the country.
Interestingly, some like-minded academician Sukhikh propose to abandon the use of the expression "fetal therapy" (which has received a bad reputation among the people) altogether - so as not to embarrass the population.
Indeed, instead of the expression “fetal therapy”, phrases that are less understandable to non-specialists are now more often used. For example, such - " fetal allogeneic stem cell transplantation ».
Also, this activity is often given pompous names like “ new cell technologies », « new medical technologies " or simply " high tech » .
Academician G. T. Sukhikh himself described his “high” activity in 2001 as follows:
“Cell biology proposes to use cells as the main means of fighting diseases. But not everyone. Only embryonic, germinal - fetal.
They are obtained from the tissues of the embryos during abortions. Materials necessary for medical purposes are isolated from an embryo that meets the time requirements.
This process is time-consuming, it requires jewelry precision and absolute sterility. The bioproducts used in the treatment, prepared from fetal tissues and cells… are subject to strict control for sterility (absence of viral and microbial pathogens), which allows them to be administered through various methods of injection, implantation and transplantation…
Patent No. 2160112 dated December 10, 2000 was obtained for the proposed unparalleled methods for preparing a cell transplant from fetal tissues.
For those who agree to resort to the introduction of cells from human embryos and fetuses that “satisfy the deadlines”, the academician promises “restoration of mental abilities”, “comprehension process”, “weight optimization”, “appearance rejuvenation”, “increased libido” and “ potency”, “retardation of aging” and many other miracles.
According to him, fetal therapy (“politically correct” called “cell therapy”) is “the latest achievement in biology and medicine, good clinical results and a living adjunct to conventional therapy for many diseases, giving results in many cases where other modern methods do not achieve effect", in a word - "an extremely promising direction in medicine".
Moreover, for such a “therapy”, unborn babies, who are ruthlessly removed from the mother’s womb in the second trimester (usually at 14-22 weeks) of pregnancy, by “controlled abortions” performed “according to social” and “medical indications” (for example, according to the results of prenatal diagnosis).
As a typical example, we can cite the description of the “method” for preparing a “medical” suspension, given in one of the Russian patents, declared in 2002 (the name of the patent holder: Educational and Scientific Center of the Medical Center of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences is among the co-authors G. T. Sukhikh):
“This technique is performed as follows… From the purified fetal cells of the second trimester of pregnancy, according to the selected recipe… a suspension is prepared. The method is performed in the following sequence.
According to social indications, a controlled abortion is performed (essentially, these are induced premature births, as a result of which a live child may be born - the author's note).
Cells of various organs and systems are obtained and purified from the embryo. Then a suspension is prepared that contains embryonic cells corresponding to the affected parts of the patient's brain and spinal cord, and elements of the endocrine and immune systems of the embryo, for example, cells of the liver, spleen, thymus, are added to this suspension to correct the pathologies of these systems of the patient. The resulting suspension is injected into the patient's lymph node ... ".
By the way, despite the enthusiastic advertising of biased "healers", such treatment is by no means safe for patients, not only from the point of view of their soul, but also of the body. Preparations derived from the bodies of unborn (more precisely, died shortly after artificial removal from the mother's body) infants carry the risk of infection with prions, as well as other, as yet unexplored pathogens (for example, yet undiscovered types of viruses), for which testing systems have not been developed.
The ongoing promotion of fetal therapy in Russia is a formidable symptom of a dangerous weakening of the “process of understanding” and moral sense both among the providers and consumers of this “medical service”, as well as among the officials and “health organizers” who patronize this immoral activity.
Attempts to "ethically justify" fetal cannibalism
Fetal therapy - essentially a sophisticated form of cannibalism - is still banned in most countries of the liberal West, despite the spread of the ideology of "secular (atheistic) humanism" there.
In particular, in the fall of 2008, the European Patent Office imposed a ban on patenting developments related to technologies for working with human embryonic stem cells, since “such technologies ... will certainly cause strong protests in society and accusations of violating the basic principles of morality.”
Unfortunately, Russia, “thanks” to Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences G. T. Sukhikh and his associates, was “ahead of the rest” in the spread of fetal cannibalism. Moreover, the “fetalists”, apparently, do not experience any emotional embarrassment, compromising their name (and at the same time Russian medical science).
Thus, the leading employees of the FGU SC AGiP (in Moscow) proudly report in their “ceremonial” monograph “High Risk Newborns” (2006) that their Center practices an “absolutely new” method of treating hypoxic brain damage in newborns (13, p. 189), including those born with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
This method involves "the use of human fetal brain tissues (FTMC) containing a wide range of biologically active substances" (13, p. 189). For greater persuasiveness, the authors provide photographs of children who were treated with FTMF.
Describing the method of isolation of neuronal embryonic stem cells, the authors do not forget to emphasize the "legal" and "official" status of their activities:
“As a donor material, non-viable (that is, born alive? - author's note) 7–12 week old human embryos and 17–20 week old human fetuses obtained from clinically healthy women who artificially terminate pregnancy at terms corresponding to the WHO Recommendations adopted by the Ministry of Health were used as a donor material. Health of the Russian Federation".
In 2006, at a round table meeting in the State Duma devoted to the problems of cellular technologies, Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences G. T. Sukhikh ardently defended the “advantages” of fetal cells (isolated from human fetuses) over stem cells obtained from adults (including the patients themselves). ) without harm to their life and health (this approach is not objectionable from the point of view of ethics).
The academician emphasized that "in practical work with them (that is, with fetal cells - author's note), our doctors are ahead of everyone, and this advantage must be maintained." At the same time, the academician believes that
"ethical issues regarding fetal cells are far-fetched, there are a huge number of abortions in the country, providing more than enough material for medical use" ..
In the same style, the authors of the monograph “High Risk Newborns” cited above (edited by Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Professor V.I. Kulakov and Prof. Yu.I. Barashnev) argue in the same style about the “ethics” of fetal therapy.
“The main criticism is not directed at the effectiveness of such therapy, but at the use of abortive tissues in the preparation of preparations. This is regarded as a violation of the norms of ethics and morality…”, experts are perplexed.
And pathetically exclaim:
“If abortion is regarded as a violation of the right of the fetus to life, how should one treat the fact that in 2000 alone about 2 million induced abortions were performed in our country?” .
“In fact, abortion is a legalized murder, because the embryo already has a genetic code that is different from both maternal and paternal ones, and, accordingly, abortion represents a violation of the principles of bioethics and, of course, religious ethics.”
Moreover, the ethical assessment of abortion given in the “secular” textbook practically coincides with what is said in the “Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church”:
“Since ancient times, the Church has considered intentional termination of pregnancy (abortion) as a grave sin. Canonical rules equate abortion with murder. Such an assessment is based on the conviction that the birth of a human being is a gift from God, therefore, from the moment of conception, any encroachment on the life of a future human person is criminal.
The psalmist describes the development of the fetus in the mother's womb as a creative act of God: You formed my inward parts, and wove me in my mother's womb... My bones were not hidden from You, when I was created in secret, formed in the depths of the womb. Your eyes have seen my fetus»
Job testifies to the same thing in the words addressed to God: Your hands worked on me, and formed me all around ... Didn’t You pour me out like milk, and, like cottage cheese, thicken me, clothe me with skin and flesh, fasten me with bones and sinews, bestowed life and mercy on me, and Your care kept my spirit... You brought me out of the womb"(Job 10. 8-12, 18).
« I formed you in the womb ... and before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you"(Jer. 1. 5-6), - said the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah."
« Do not kill a child by causing a miscarriage, ”this command is placed among the most important commandments of God in the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, one of the oldest monuments of Christian writing ...
« The one who will be a man is already a man, ”Tertullian claimed at the turn of the II-III centuries ... "(5, XII, 2).
“The Church considers the widespread use and justification of abortion in modern society as a threat to the future of mankind and a clear sign of moral degradation” (5, section XII, 2).
Unborn children as "cheap" raw materials
Information about the progress of fetal therapy in Russia can also be obtained from an article by Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences K. N. Yarygin, posted on the website of the Institute of High Technologies.
Dr. Yarygin is the head of the laboratory of cellular technologies at the Russian State Medical University (RSMU). He is known as an ardent supporter of the use of fetal cells for "cell therapy".
In particular, in his article he writes:
"T Thus, the prospects for the use of technologies using stem cells in medicine are enormous. There is a lot of talk and writing about this in the US, but various legal and ethical issues (sometimes far-fetched) hinder the development of new treatments and their implementation in practice. Meanwhile, in some countries, stem cell transplants for medical purposes have been carried out for a number of years. One of these countries is Russia, where several clinics in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Pushchino, and Novosibirsk are actively working in this direction.
... A very good effect is achieved with the introduction of mesenchymal cells taken from the fetus, some patients with signs of premature aging. In Switzerland, clinics have been successfully operating for a long time, where sheep or pig cells are injected into aging people. The use of human cells, of course, has many undeniable advantages.
… From what has been said, it is clear that Russian doctors, unlike their counterparts in many Western countries, have already accumulated extensive practical experience in the use of new technologies based on transplantation of stem cells or their derivatives.
Work in all these areas continues. New lines of work are emerging all the time. In May 2002, the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences approved the program "new cellular technologies for medicine". To promote the program, a specialized commission on tissue and cell preparations and technologies for their production was created.
Moreover, K. N. Yarygin, just like G. T. Sukhikh, is trying to convince the public that stem cells isolated from aborted children (i.e., fetal cells) supposedly have many advantages over cells obtained from adults (without harm to their life and health).
At the same time, the main "advantage" of fetal cells, which is emphasized in the article by K. N. Yarygin, has nothing to do with science at all. This, according to K. N. Yarygin, - the special cheapness of stem cells isolated from babies killed by induced abortions !
As for the “legal and religious and ethical problems” that hinder the spread of fetal therapy abroad, K. N. Yarygin, like academician G. T. Sukhikh (and other Russian “fetal workers”), believes that these problems are “partly contrived ".
In connection with the radical statements of G. T. Sukhikh, K. N. Yarygin and other Russian “fetalers”, the words of the famous American sociologist and philosopher Francis Fukuyama are recalled:
« Some scientists revel in the destruction of traditional notions of human dignity, especially those based on religion.»
Let us note that in his views Fukuyama is a Western liberal adhering to “non-religious positions” (18) (albeit more moderate than radical). However, he is clearly aware that the process of spreading “dehumanizing biotechnologies” (18) in modern society, including those associated with the destruction of human embryos, is a direct path to the inhuman “new brave world”, described in the terrible dystopia of the famous English writer Aldous Huxley. Moving further along this path, people at some point will find that their soul "just died"
“We are not obligated to accept any such future for the sake of a false banner of freedom…” Fukuyama assures his fellow citizens. - We are not obliged to consider ourselves slaves of the inevitable technological progress, if this progress does not serve human purposes. True freedom means the freedom of the political public to defend the values that are dearest to them, and it is this freedom that we must use today in relation to the biotechnological revolution.
Russia, which suffered in the 20th century from the communist utopia, also obviously wants a better future for itself than the society of "victorious cannibalism", where in the eclipse of the mind a handful of "biotechnocrats" who have lost their moral reference point are being dragged.
"Illiterate" citizens and journalists against fetal therapy
The activities of Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences G. T. Sukhikh to promote fetal cannibalism in Russia were carried out with the approval and "under the patronage" of the former director of the Moscow Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the former head of the Russian Family Planning Association (RAPS), Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Professor V.I. Kulakova (13). After the death of prof. V. I. Kulakov, which followed in 2007, his name was given to the specified Scientific Center (this institution is currently abbreviated as FGU NTs AG and P named after V. I. Kulakov Rosmedtekhnologii).
We can only regret that the late Prof. V. I. Kulakov, an outstanding Russian clinical scientist in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, connected his name (perhaps, yielding to someone else's influence and not completely deliberately) with immoral fetal therapy and with the eugenic ideology of "family planning".
As you know, under the politically correct term "family planning" hides a special social technology of "birth control", the use of which causes a decrease in the birth rate in a particular country (19-24).
Currently, since 2007, he has been the director of the FGU NTs AGiP named after. V. I. Kulakova of the Russian Medical Technologies, Academician G. T. Sukhikh continues to promote his favorite direction - work with "cells obtained from tissues of autopsy abortive material"
In this odious activity, academician G. G. Sukhikh sees, as he said in one of his interviews (in 2007), “a national research niche”, which, in his opinion, is “extremely important” to develop. Moreover, this “big problem”, according to the academician, “has the possibility of commercial use in the future”
True, the “positive” attitude of the academician is somewhat overshadowed by the incessant attempts of some “backward” citizens “to stop this part of domestic science, formally put us within the framework of European standards, rules and dogmas”
The academician explains the negative attitude of the population towards “fetal cells” primarily by “illiteracy”, as well as by the fact that “easily suggestible” citizens are in the “line of public judgments”
As the academic admits, “fetal cell research is associated with something controversial. The key word “abortion” immediately comes to mind. Therefore, “when there is a state program for the preservation of the population,” the academician notes with some regret, these factors can “affect science”
Dr. med. Sciences K. N. Yarygin also very “undemocratic” expresses dissatisfaction with journalists and colleagues who allowed themselves the “impudence” to publicly criticize his favorite direction:
“One of the problems specific to Russia was the absence, until recently, of a mechanism that would allow organizing a broad discussion among specialists of theoretical and practical problems related to the development and implementation of new cellular technologies.
The situation was all the more intolerable because the Russian media willingly followed their foreign counterparts and began to publish a large number of materials on this subject, some of which were and remain at a very low level.
Worse, some medical professionals, apparently wanting to compromise their colleagues, whom they considered competitors, began to use newspapers, magazines and electronic media to publish obviously biased materials. Fortunately, things are changing now.”
It should be noted that the director of the Institute of Experimental Cardiology, Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Prof. Smirnov, who cannot be accused of "illiteracy" or "tendentiousness". The assessment of this "new cellular technology" in the "Fundamentals of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church" was mentioned above.
It should also be noted that the imposition of scientific cannibalism on Russian society hinders the development in Russia of really important (and ethical) areas of cell technologies.
These, of course, include all studies related to the study and use of stem cells isolated from adult donors - without harm to their health and life (including autologous cells obtained from the patient himself).
Here it seems appropriate to quote one more quotation from Fukuyama's book:
« While the research community has in the past excelled in controlling itself in areas such as human experimentation and the safety of recombinant DNA technology, there are now too many commercial interests intersecting and too much money circulating for self-regulation to continue to be successful.
…Science alone cannot define the purposes it serves… Many of the Nazi doctors who injected viruses into concentration camp prisoners or tortured prisoners to death with cold were legitimate scientists who collected potentially very informative data.
... And only "theology, philosophy or politics" can set the goals of science and technology that science generates and declare these goals good or bad ... Therefore, the question of what to do with biotechnology is a political question, and it is not for technocrats to decide»
Patenting Cannibalism
Unfortunately, the “commercial use” of the tissues of aborted babies, which academician Sukhikh mentioned, is not a “prospect”, but a tragic reality of modern Russia (indicating the deep moral degradation of a certain part of the “scientific and medical elite”).
We have already mentioned the promotion of this "high technology" on the website of the Institute of High Technologies. Other examples of the commercial use of cells isolated from aborted babies in modern Russia can be found on the website of the so-called Institute of Biological Medicine. In particular, it reports on the “commercial” provision for “cellular therapy” (including “rejuvenation”, “increased sexual activity”, etc.) of drugs obtained from “abortion blood” (26) and “abortion materials » .
In addition, by typing the keywords "fetal cells" and "patents" in Internet search engines, you can find many descriptions of "inventions" in which the authors declare their readiness to treat "any and all diseases" with the help of "biopreparations" of cells isolated from aborted children.
For example, back in 1999, a group of employees of the Educational and Scientific Center of the Medical Center of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation received a patent of the Russian Federation "Method of treating impotence", which involves the introduction of patients "suspension of fetal cells containing from 20 to 70 million cells of the gonads, endocrine cells and cells of the nervous system, obtained from aborted babies
At the same time, the inventors do not hide the fact that “long-term treatment, including more than 5 courses, against the background of a stable effect, is burdened by significant financial costs”
On the same inclined plane (in the direction of the spread and commercialization of fetal cannibalism), apparently, some other CIS countries are also moving forward.
For example, the MedMarket Medical Catalog website has a long list of "stem cells and biologics" produced in Kazakhstan. Among the proposed "biological products", in particular, "hematopoietic cells of the human embryonic liver", "nerve cells of human embryos", "phototech - cytosol of human embryonic tissues", "mesocells - mesenchymal cells of human embryos", etc.
"Biopreparations" - products of legalized infanticide technology - are sold "at a price of 200 USD" (29). The last replenishment of the catalog was in autumn 2008
By the way, the manufacturer of this terrible product bears by no means a Kazakh name - Aesthetic Best Center (29). This firm also appears on a website called the Institute of New Medical Technologies (very similar in design to the website of the Institute of High Technologies). In addition, on one of the Kazakh sites, we drew attention to the message of a certain Maxim (who introduced himself as an employee of the Aesthetic Best Center and left the company's email address)
The following information can be gleaned from this message:
“Our company… is engaged in the application of cell technologies together with a number of well-known research institutes in Moscow…”
A lot of questions unwittingly arise here. For example, this one: does the company also share the profit from the sale of products of the abortion business with "well-known research institutes in Moscow"?
Or another logical question: does such “joint activity” lead to the degradation of Russian healthcare?
However, understanding all the intricacies of the “high-tech” Russian business in the field of “new cellular technologies” (and its connections with state institutions in the field of healthcare) seems to be too difficult for us.
It is necessary that the whole society, including journalists, specialists in ethics and law, and ordinary citizens (who support the state - including the healthcare system - with their taxes) seriously take up this topic.
Special course on fetal cannibalism
Russian "fetalists" are also concerned about the appropriate education of the younger generation.
On one of the sites you can get acquainted with the program of the course "Cell Biology and Introduction to Cell Therapy" for 6th year students of the Faculty of Medicine and Biology of the Russian State Medical University (RSMU). The program was developed in 2008. Among the authors - Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Doctor of Biological Sciences K. N. Yarygin.
No one doubts the need to study the methods of modern cell biology for students of the Faculty of Medicine and Biology. But let's take a closer look at the content of the program.
One of its sections is "The Use of Stem Cells for Replacement Therapy". When mastering this material, students should understand, in particular, the "advantages and disadvantages of fetal regional stem cells as a material for the preparation of cell preparations"
Knowing Dr. Yarygin's predilection for "transplantation of human fetal cells", there is every reason to believe that it will be mainly about obtaining "cell preparations" from aborted human fetuses (and not tissues of animal fetuses). Moreover, most experts rightly consider the use of animal stem cells to be too dangerous.
And along the way, students will have to learn as a “normal” component of “public consciousness” a cannibalistic ideology that allows using the organs of aborted children as “cheap” raw materials for extracting especially valuable “fetal regional stem cells”.
Moreover, one of the developers of the special course, Dr. Yarygin, considers the ethical problems associated with fetal therapy to be very “far-fetched”
It seems that such "special courses" are aimed not only at "professional education", but also to a large extent - at "brainwashing" in order to destroy traditional morality and establish a "new revolutionary ethics".
The introduction of such "high-tech methods" into the Russian health care system, obviously, brings up far from the best moral qualities in doctors themselves - cynicism, disregard for human life, etc.
No wonder a well-known specialist in bioethics in Russia, head. Head of the Department of Biomedical Ethics of the Russian State Medical University, member of the Center for Biomedical Ethics of the Moscow Patriarchate, Professor, Doctor of Philosophy I.V. Siluyanova writes in her article (titled "Saturn devouring his children"):
“In the end, moral and ideological pluralism, that is, the implementation of various views, values, up to the denial of values in general, is the reality of modern civilization. What is important is that in this pluralism a clearly articulated position must be preserved: fetal therapy is immoral.
You can talk about anything: about its practical expediency in some sense, under certain conditions, about its cognitive significance for science, and so on. etc., but one cannot speak of its ethics. Why? Even in the ancient pagan cults, Saturn - the mythical deity devouring his children to avoid death - was deprived of his human form.
Anti-human laws and "rights"
The promotion of fetal cannibalism in Russia is facilitated by some features of the legislative system of the Russian Federation, primarily the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
According to Article 17, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the right to life, as a basic natural right, arises for a person in Russia not from the moment of conception (which would be reasonable), but only from the moment of birth.
In fact, the citizens of Russia, who are in the mother's womb, are equated by the Constitution of the Russian Federation with animals. The Constitution does not prohibit their murder, their use as cheap "bio-raw materials", etc. Obviously, Article 17 (providedly introduced into the Constitution of the Russian Federation) opens a wide path for the abortion industry and biotechnologies related to the destruction of human embryos and fetuses.
In particular, this article made it possible to include Article 36 in the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on the Protection of the Health of Citizens, which proclaims the “right” of every expectant mother to kill her unborn baby.
As you know, abortion at the request of a woman is allowed at a gestational age of up to 12 weeks; according to social indications - for a period of up to 22 weeks; in the presence of medical indications and the consent of the woman - regardless of the gestational age.
Moreover, in the text of the article, permission for infanticide is slyly called "the right of a woman to decide the issue of motherhood herself." It also follows from the text of Article 36 of the Fundamentals that the state must pay for abortions at the expense of compulsory health insurance, that is, at the expense of all taxpayers.
But such a policy is carried out against the will of those people who rightly consider abortion to be murder. Thus, the specified article of the Fundamentals directly induces the Russian state to grossly trample on the rights and freedom of conscience of many of its citizens, forcing them to pay by taxes for actions that these people consider criminal.
According to the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Higher School of Economics, the number of such people in Russia is quite large: about 40-50% of respondents, even in the youth group (under 26 years old), answered that abortions should be banned altogether.
The situation is further aggravated by the fact that in recent years, the most expensive and dangerous abortions - in the late stages of pregnancy - the Russian healthcare system even actively imposes - if a serious illness is detected in the fetus using prenatal diagnostics
We add that it is difficult to find another such country in the world in which such “free” legislation regarding the production and advertising of abortions would be introduced, as in Russia
Let's take a look at a few examples for comparison.
In Ireland, Malta, the Philippines, very strict laws have been adopted to “protect the rights of unborn children”, and abortion is still unconditionally prohibited at all stages of pregnancy (despite constant attacks on this issue from the “world community”, for example, represented by the UN)
In the Philippines, the law proclaims the protection of the dignity of human life "from the moment of conception." In Poland, abortions are allowed throughout pregnancy only in case of a threat to the life of the mother, in addition, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy - in case of rape, incest or severe fetal anomaly.
In Germany, there is also no practice of abortions of "free choice", and even at the expense of the state. A woman can only terminate a pregnancy up to 12 weeks - in case of incest, rape, life-threatening and persistent unwillingness to report the pregnancy, provided that she has undergone mandatory counseling aimed at convincing her to refuse an abortion. After 12 weeks, abortion is allowed only in case of a serious threat to the woman's physical and mental health. As a rule, abortions are not paid for by the state. In addition, a special law on the protection of the rights of the embryo was adopted in Germany.
Strict abortion laws remain in most Latin American countries - Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua and many states in Mexico. As a rule, in these countries, abortions are allowed only in cases of incest, rape and a threat to the life of the mother, in some countries, for example, El Salvador, there is an unconditional ban on abortion.
Similar strict laws also exist in many Asian and African countries.
In Greece, despite the adoption in 1986 of fairly liberal laws regarding abortion, advertising of the "abortion business" is prohibited.
“Thanks to” liberal legislation on abortion, the opportunity to receive this “service” through compulsory health insurance and wide advertising, our country, as all Western analysts note, occupies the “world leader in the number of abortions.”
At the same time, Russian laws grossly ignore one of the most important international documents - the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (which entered into force in 1990). The preamble to this document proclaims that the states parties to the Convention, including Russia, take into account that “the child, due to his physical and mental immaturity, needs proper legal protection both before and after birth.”
In addition, according to Article 1 of the Convention, “every human being up to the age of 18 is recognized as a child ...”, that is, there is no established starting point from which a human being should be recognized as a child.
The meaning of the above article, as emphasized, for example, by legal specialist L. A. Ertel, defines a child not only as a born human being, but also as one that is in the mother’s womb and was not born
Thus, the lawyer concludes, “all norms relating to the rights and interests of children, including Art. 6 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, by virtue of which every child has the inalienable right to life”
The Orthodox Church has always considered abortions as deliberate killings, a violation of the Old Testament commandment "Thou shalt not kill", which Christianity extends to the fetus in the mother's womb (from the moment of conception).
The discovery of diseases in unborn babies does not justify abortions "for medical reasons" (serving as one of the sources of "biopreparations" for fetal therapy), since "every person has the right to life, love and care, regardless of the presence of certain diseases"
Laws that do not recognize the personal status and human dignity of unborn children impose on the country the ideology of radical atheistic liberalism, which reduces a person to one of the "species" of highly organized animals.
These laws also reject the norms of traditional medical ethics (4, 5), requiring the doctor to show "the highest respect for human life from the moment of conception" (Geneva Declaration of the World Medical Association, September 1948). At the same time, they are in conflict with Article 13, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which states that "no ideology can be established as a state or mandatory."
But these intellectually and morally untenable laws are in the interests of immoral "biotechnologies" involving the "consumption" of human embryos and fetuses, the abortion business, as well as companies producing contraceptives.
It is known that most modern hormonal and intrauterine contraceptives, along with contraception, also have an abortive effect - they prevent the implantation of an already conceived embryo (37), that is, they kill the life of a new human being.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to quote from the book "The Sacred Gift of Life" by the famous contemporary American Orthodox theologian and bioethicist Protopresbyter John Breck (Orthodox Church in America). These words seem relevant to our reality (38):
“In our society, devoid of clear moral guidelines and permeated with a hedonistic worldview, Orthodox Christians should speak out - peacefully, but firmly - against the legalized destruction of unborn life.
To those who argue that “morality cannot be legitimized,” we must object that any law somehow “legitimizes morality” by participating in the formation of human behavior.
Our silence and inaction will be perceived as a passive approval of immoral laws and actions that expose the moral degradation of society and undermine its foundations.

The most controversial and scandalous topic of recent years. In fact, these cells are the "building material" of the whole organism. They are formed immediately after conception in a fertilized egg.
After a few days of being in the womb, they become specialized and everyone begins to "build" their own "section" of the body or organ of the unborn child, but not all. Some of them remain universal "in stock" until the end of their lives. As soon as some kind of breakdown occurs in the human body, they, like ambulance doctors, rush to the sore spot and replace specialized stem cells. Result: the more breakdowns in the body, the less universal stem cells. And our body begins to break down more and more often with age ....
At modern lifestyle the number of stem cells noticeably decreases already by the age of 20, and after 40 years they no longer remain in the body at all. More than 20 years ago, scientists came to the conclusion that the adult body also needs stem cells and suggested using them to treat serious diseases.
Real breakthrough in cell biology occurred in 1998, when scientists from the United States succeeded in isolating and cloning lines of embryonic stem cells. After this scientific discovery, cell biology has made great progress and began to develop in two directions: the treatment of serious diseases with the help of stem cells and the rejuvenation of the body with injections with stem cells.
Idea to put in organism table cells and become 10-20 years younger seems tempting, but so far no one knows how they work. Perhaps they only stimulate the dying cell to further life, or maybe they themselves take its place and begin to work actively. Unfortunately, there are still more questions about stem cells than answers. When scientists figure out how stem cells work, then there will be a real breakthrough in medicine.
Undoubtedly, in stem cells there is a future. In the meantime, doctors advise to approach their use with extreme caution. Unfortunately, in Russia there are no restrictions on the use of embryonic stem cells, and therefore now in many beauty salons you can find advertising bouquets promising to rejuvenate and improve with stem cells.
AT 40-50 years old the human body noticeably ages, the body loses elasticity and wrinkles appear. And of course, everyone at this age wants to find a panacea for old age and illness, and if a person has a lot of money and opportunities, then it seems to him that everything is within his power. The overblown hype around stem cells is also more about big money than about their real merit in rejuvenating the body. The minimum course of rejuvenation, consisting of 4 injections of stem cells, in a Swiss clinic costs about 15 thousand euros.
So choose this one way to rejuvenate rich people- the elite and cream of society who have money for expensive treatment. Among them are well-known politicians, businessmen, pop and movie stars. All of them are educated and successful people who understand that you can not trust technologies, the security of which is not yet unanimous.
But a wish looking younger and more attractive wins over the mind. Seeing what a colleague or acquaintance looks like after stem cell injections, many public people also agree to the same rejuvenation. Many artists who surprise everyone with their blooming appearance, despite their advanced age, have also undergone stem cell treatment. Among them are Sofia Rotaru, Valery Leontiev, Lev Leshchenko and Alexander Buinov.
However, all more information appears in the press that the treatment with embryonic stem cells played a role in the premature death of famous actors Dmitry Hvorostovsky, Zhanna Friske, Alexander Abdulov, Oleg Yankovsky, Valentina Tolkunova, Anna Samokhina and Lyubov Polishchuk. All of them resorted to the help of cell therapy.
This list can proceed, it has showmen, singers, politicians, athletes and other public people who were successful and far from old. Shortly before their death, they seemed to flourish and get younger, surprising the public and envying those who could not afford such expensive procedures.
By nurse's stories one of the capital's clinics where Alexander Abdulov was treated, it was he who advised his friend Oleg Yankovsky to follow his example. Both of them at first seemed to have found a second youth, and this was noticed not only by those around them, but also by analyzes and studies. And then both were diagnosed with cancer, and even the doctors of the best clinics could not save them from death. The number of deaths of beauty victims frightens even doctors. Many of them are sure that the cancer of "celebrities" is a consequence of their rejuvenation with stem cells.
But why stem cells some are treated and others are killed? No one can answer this question yet. From an ethical point of view, the use of stem cells for the sake of rejuvenation has been compromised by scandals around the collection of embryonic stem cells from abortive material. At the same time, it is believed that the later the abortion is performed, the better the quality of the stem cells. Therefore, in countries where cellular technologies are actively used, there is a sharp increase in the number of late-term abortions ...
After cell injection organisms begin to divide "like a baby" actively, so the person seems to be getting younger. But no one can say what consequences such rejuvenation can have for a particular person. In any case, this is stress for an elderly organism, against which any pathology can develop.
Latest research by american scientists showed that stem cells do indeed have the opposite properties. Some of them prevent the development of cancer, while others themselves can degenerate into cancer cells, which give rise to the development of a tumor. There is still a lot of uncertainty about stem cell treatment and further scientific research is needed to guarantee 100% safety of treatment and rejuvenation of the body.
