Research At Risk: Life-Saving Heart Pumps For Babies

[SassyIrishLass]

Strange the Democrats are upset about this while advocating killing children in the womb

On a lab bench in the basement of Weill Hall, a tiny device silently pumps fluid through a series of tubes and vessels that mimic the human heart. It has the potential to save the lives of tens of thousands of babies with heart defects.

After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.

ut after receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the project’s future is uncertain.

On March 30, the U.S. Department of Defense accepted a proposal to prepare the device for in-human clinical trial, ramping up manufacturing and obtaining regulatory approvals. A week later, the researchers got word that the funding – $6.7 million over the course of four years – wasn’t coming.

Felon47 is suppose be all about the "Right To Life". Yet, he is more than willing to let babies with a heart condition die. Where will so-called "Pro-Life", types come down on this. Will they support this baby killing move or will they stand they stand up in anger and demand he restore funding?

Why doesn’t someone else fund it instead of the DoD? Really not that hard of a concept

The late great George Carlin on "Pro-Life".

Why was the funding held up?

This should be done by private industry and not unaccountable colleges who are unaudited and spend money like water.

Private industry doesn't fund most research. It doesn't make money.

So Pfizer wouldn't have any drugs without colleges?

A whole bunch of them - nope.

Why? Don't they want to make money?
