This is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using x-ray, NMR and cryoelectron microscopy datasets. “Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell.”- by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill. https://t.co/YERCmdIJXH pic.twitter.com/3pxT3blsgU— Mahjabin Noroozi (@Mahjabinno) November 7, 2020
At first glance it looks like a bird’s eye view of a futuristic city or perhaps some sort of Indian festival of colours.
In reality it is the most detailed model of a human cell yet created.
The model was created by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill using x-ray, NMR and cryoelectron microscopy datasets.
It was published by Mahjabin Noroozi, a researcher at Stanford University (USA), in November of last year, and has not stopped causing wonder and awe online since. It has recently been doing the rounds in the UK.

The ethical vaccine debate
On Wednesday this week Emeritus paediatric professor at UCL- John Wyatt debated David Brennan from Brephos (the Greek word for child, in and outside of the womb) on whether Christians should accept vaccines that use fetal tissue cell lines in their production. The debate was a friendly affair between brothers, with plenty of agreement around the facts, and a charming moment at the end where each of the debaters introduced the others' website. This said, the debate did clarify a fundamental difference between the two men's ethical approach to the vaccines and the Scriptures.

The Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine is produced in cell lines derived from abortions — by contrast Moderna and Pfizer’s vaccines used them in testing, which some argue may put them in the same moral category.
The debate around the morality of fetal tissue vaccines frequently both contains and hinges upon faulty assumptions — thus, whichever side you stand on, it's worth considering the most common ones.

ORGAN HARVESTING TODAY
Johanna’s story is not an isolated case.
SWEDEN, 1962
Karin* was just three months old** when her mother chose to take her to a clinic in 1962 to have her put to death by medical professionals. Both Karin and her mother were healthy. Karin’s mother knew they were going to kill her baby, but she had no inkling as to what they would do next. Instead of incinerating, burying, or throwing her little body away, they wrapped it in sterile green cloth and sent it to the Karolinska Institute in northwest Stockholm to be dissected and harvested for medical research.
Neither Karin nor her mother gave consent for her organs to be harvested in this way.
Karin didn’t consent to be killed either.
Her lung was sent to the USA and used to create the cell line WI-38.
She was the 32nd baby they used.

What is HEK 293?
HEK 293 is a human cell line created using a kidney from a dissected unborn baby in the Netherlands between 1972 and 1973. It is the second most common cell line and is used extensively in “pharmaceutical and biomedical research”. It is also used in vaccine creation and cancer research.

As a German school girl in the 1990s, I was faced with a very rough awakening when I learned about the Nazi holocaust and the fact that it originated from what I subconsciously perceived as a “peaceful, safe and just” homeland. The photographs, films and written records of the cruel, evil acts committed against millions of people have never stopped haunting me.
