StemExpress CEO Admits to Selling Beating Hearts, Intact Heads of Aborted Babies

The StemExpress CEO told a San Francisco courtroom on Sept. 5 that the company brokered beating fetal hearts and intact fetal heads to medical researchers.
The admission happened during the court proceedings of Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit against investigators, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who did an undercover operation that confirmed that top executives and clinicians from Planned Parenthood are brokering aborted baby parts.
Daleiden and Merritt are the defendants in the case and are the key investigators who had exposed the alleged dealings of Planned Parenthood and StemExpress.
The duo represents the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), a group of citizen journalist “dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.” They are facing 14 counts of felony invasion of privacy, reported conservative magazine The Federalist.
Both are accused of posing as representatives of the tissue procurement company BioMax in order to enter medical conferences and health care centers for the purpose of their investigation. The duo used pseudo names to enter the meetings of National Abortion Federation (NAF) in 2014 and 2015 to record the proceedings on video, according to the Christian Post.
On Thursday, StemExpress representative Doe 12 admitted in the court that the baby’s head could be attached to the body or “could be torn away” at the time of procurement.
In a summary update of the trial proceedings given on Twitter, the CMP mentioned Doe 12 statement in the court: “When @StemExpress’ Doe 12 is asked about the head of a baby being attached to the body upon tissue procurement, Doe 12 says the photos from CMP are accurate and show that the heads are sometimes attached and sometimes are not attached to other parts of body.”
After the first-day proceedings on Tuesday, Daleiden had said in a statement: “Planned Parenthood abortion providers appeared under oath in court today and admitted supplying the body parts of children in the womb to for-profit brokers like StemExpress.”
CMP had earlier accused StemExpress of violating FedEx policies in a video released on Nov. 28, 2017.
“In a new video, a whistleblower from the fetal tissue wholesaler StemExpress tells how the company shipped body parts from Planned Parenthood abortions in knowing violation of FedEx policies,” CMP said.
The Epoch Times reached out to the CMP for comment but didn’t immediately receive a response.
Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society, who is representing Daleiden at the court, told Life Site News that’s StemExpress CEO’s admission is “gruesome.”
“If you have a fetus with an intact head and an intact body, and intact extremities, that is something that would indicate that child was born alive, and then had their organs cut out of them, or that that child was the victim of an illegal partial-birth abortion,” he said.
“Both of these are gruesome and violent acts,” Breen said. The Thomas More Society didn’t immediately reply to The Epoch Times’s request for comment.
StemExpress and Planned Parenthood Northern California are currently the subject of investigations by the FBI and Department of Justice “for selling fetal organs and tissue against the law,” CMP said in a summary.
