$265,000 number Clinton's Speech AdvaMed RTI Biologics Tutogen
A seemingly small but interesting lead of mine just turned out to be a whale of a catch. Hillary Clinton was paid 265,000 dollars by AdvaMed for a single speech. It turns out a member of AdvaMed is RTI Surgical which, while then known as RTI Biologics, illegally harvested dead bodies for bone marrow, organs, and tissue from the Ukraine to sell for a profit. Tutogen was their German division that was caught also using tissue stolen from dead corpses in the Ukraine. Many of the corpses they used also were riddled with diseases and negatively hurt the people who got transplants of their organic materials. It should be noted, Hillary took these peoples money after all this had already come out about them.
Haiti
RTI Biologics also donated allografts to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, probably to try to get some more illegal tissue from there.
BioFlorida PhRma Shkreli
But there is more! I have discovered a group that encompasses Tavistock, RTI Surgical and other shady groups. It is called BioFlorida. While it admittedly has a ton of members and many of the lower paying ones are probably honest businesses their premiere member list reads like a whose-who of pharma corruption. One is PhRma whose president Stephen Ubl used to work for AdvaMed. When PhRma went after Martin Shkreli the "bad boy" of pharma got pissed off. Apparently even he thought that he didn't hold a candle to the likes of BioFlorida members like PhRma and Amgen.

This is the kind of comment that should be at the top. Is PP a front for organ/stem cell harvesting? Are the world's richest really donating as a means of paying for illegal stem cell research and development?

Wait, serious question. What is the problem with this practice, exactly? The left is aware of fetal stem cell use, and I didn't think it was illegal?

Great Question, podesta4prison. Ethically, it is a problem. Using human beings as commodities. It should horrify us that we're detroying a fellow human being to benefit another one, (Personally, I think people would be horrified that we did that to dogs. But not so much for people. ) Legally, use of human embryonic stem cells derived from established stem cell lines ( from previously aborted humans ) was legalized by George Bush for federally funded research. The thinking is, ' well, the cells are of no use now, we're going to throw it out, why throw away these good cells' . That opened up Pandoras Box. Then, In 2009, Obama signed an executive order that repealed a Bush policy limiting federal dollars for human stem cell research.
Recently, you must know that the NIH has attempted to combine human cells, and tissues with animal tissues. This has been discussed on VOAT. So you see how far we've fallen.
****It is interesting to note that scientists have achieved great success from using adult stem cells ( undifferentiated cells from adults bone marrow, etc.). But the use of embryonic stem cells ( from aborted fetuses) has been problematic-- tumor cells, undifferentiated cells, see more here. https://cbhd.org/stem-cell-research/overview

Makes you wonder if PP is talking scared/confused women into having abortions too?? Are they trying to fill an order? We need 50 livers by Tuesday.. better get some more patients in for an abortion!
This made me think of this video, of an ex-PP employee. She is talking about getting pressured to get more abortions done for the revenue, but the real revenue might have been selling that parts & organs!

One thing is that selling fetal tissue for profit is illegal. Full stop.
Planned Parenthood denies doing this, of course.

If I remember the controversy correctly, didn't they successfully argue that were covering expenses?

There is no gov watchdog/ regulation or guidance on how much they can charge for "shipping and processing". That was their loophole.
