At least eight Republican politicians, including three from Pennsylvania's congressional delegation, are calling for an investigation into the University of Pittsburgh's fetal tissue research.
Although the university has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, it appeared as though it would continue to face public scrutiny over a federally funded program that utilized fetal organs. It's unclear what exactly happened during the procedures performed to obtain that tissue. However, multiple doctors and scholars havethat Pitt's statements point to the possibility of organ extraction from live fetuses — claims Pitt vehemently denies.
"The federally funded research with the National Institute of Health and Pitt demonstrates a clear need to protect the sanctity of life at every level of scientific advancement," she said. "There should be an immediate investigation of the university and NIH. Both have many questions to answer. Not just from lawmakers who oversee research funding, but potentially from law enforcement," added Kelly, whose district neighbors the 18th district, where Pittsburgh is located.
