Shit Storm a' Brewing: Fetal Tissue & Burn Care
Oh my. The reaction to this will likely be hysterical. Never mind that something beneficial might be done with what would otherwise be destroyed. Never mind the obvious comparisons to organ donation. Invective invoking Nazi experimentation is sure to follow.

Personally, I have a hard time imagining that this would be used as some kind of justification. I mean, we haven't seen scores of women aborting in the hopes of generating stem cell supplies.
As for using someone else's cells - I believe cadaver skin is used in grafts all the time. I'd presume that rejection issues are dealt with in this case just like they are with organ donation.
