ETHICAL CONSUMERS UNWITTINGLY BUYING FOOD CONTAINING FETAL MATERIAL (Letter to Dom Post, August 20)

‘The internet’, you editorialise (August 20), ‘has brought the markets of the world into New Zealand houses’. How right you are.

 

For example, the market for fetal body parts, recently exposed on our computers by undercover operations in the US, busting Planned Parenthood for trading aborted babies for profit. For example, harvesting a brain intact from a late-term baby boy while his heart was still beating.

 

You warn ‘ethical consumers’ of a dilemma in buying from companies that oppress their workers and don’t pay enough tax. Right again. And then there are ethical consumers who unwittingly are buying beauty products, pharmaceuticals and food containing fetal material.

 

As The Dominion Post editorialises about ethics, and ethics for journalists mean reporting the facts, I assume you know nothing about this grisly trade. So you’ll be pleased I’ve brought it to your attention.
