In 2015, the Center for Medical Progress, an antiabortion organization, covertly filmed Planned Parenthood staff discussing the use of fetal tissue for scientific research. The videos were heavily altered to make it seem that Planned Parenthood profits from the sale of fetal tissue and put the organization under great scrutiny. David Daleiden, the main orchestrator of this scandal, was found guilty in a civil jury trial 2019. Fetal tissue can be incredibly useful for scientific research, but it has never been sold for profit or without consent from the patient.
