State Attorney General Conducting Investigation into Planned Parenthood

An article on Texas Tribune shows that Texas Attorney General has commanded an official investigation into the alleged preservation of fetal organs by the Planned Parenthood clinic. Early this year, an anti-abortion group named Center for Progressive Medics released a video portraying a high-level official of Planned Parenthood discussing harvesting fetal organs for medical researches in an inter meeting. This news is noticeable because abortion and stem cell research are a sensitive issue in Texas. Despite the conservatism of Texas on abortion, the controversy of stem cell research is at what stage can a fetus be classified as a living human being. Biologically, organs form after the fetus begins to differentiate. Hence, there is a risk that the company is actually harvesting organs from a nearly human fetus, which is unethical and brutal.
