As a medical transcriptionist, I think I can translate doctor-speak for you here.Bubblingbrooks said:No. Actually they call most procedures elective. So no one did it on purpose for this recipe. The same wording is used for the cell lines that were used to start vaccines years ago.glenolam said:What got me was this part:
So...that means someone ELECTED to become pregnant with a baby destined to be aborted for the sole purpose of this project?...human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors
Elective means that it was optional, or someones choice, or that it could be "elected" to be done at any time per the patient and not something life threatening or non-optional. Lasix surgery for the eyes would be a great example of elective surgery, appendix surgery is not.
