The contract specifically requires researchers at UCSF to make two different types of 'humanized mice' both of which are engrafted with human fetal liver and thymus.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

TERENCE P. JEFFREY:<\/strong> ‘The Department of Health and Human Services says it has granted a second 90-day extension to a contract it has with the University of California at San Francisco that requires UCSF to make \u201chumanized mice.\u201d These creatures are made by implanting mice with human tissues taken from late-term aborted babies. The HHS’s multi-million-dollar contract with UCSF that requires the construction of these \u201chumanized mice\u201d creates a demand — driven by federal tax dollars — for tissue taken from late-term aborted babies.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to an estimate it has published on its website, the National Institutes of Health (which is a division of HHS) will spend $95 million this fiscal year alone on research that — like UCSF’s “humanized mouse” contract — uses human fetal tissue. Under the new 90-day extension, the contract\u2014which the government calls \u201cHumanized Mouse Models for HIV Therapeutics Development\u201d — will run through June 5…<\/em><\/p>\n

The National Institutes of Health, which is part of HHS, originally signed its \u201chumanized mouse\u201d contract with UCSF on Dec. 6, 2013. The contract was for a one-year period and gave the government the option of renewing it for up to six additional one-year periods through Dec. 5, 2020. According to contract information published on the Federal Procurement Data System, the new three-month extension will pay UCSF $521,082 \u2014 bringing the total payments the federal government has made to UCSF for this contract to $10,596,960. If the government continues renewing the contract through Dec. 5, 2020, HHS would end up paying UCSF a total of $13,799,501′.<\/em> SOURCE…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
