Many people are only now starting to look up terms like HEK293 and perhaps finding that it's in and used for so many things, the list could feel overwhelming. What do we do with this information? Some would say, honor the sacrifice for the Greater Good. What man meant for evil, God meant for good. I mean, yeah, I know that scripture, but let's not get out of hand.
What is HEK293? They took a baby who had been aborted, took cells from it's parts, and made a cell line, tissue cultures that are experimented on. HEK = Human Embryonic Kidney.
Does God honor the acts of Great Evil? That's the real question isn't it? If we say "yes," then any evil could be excused into perpetuity as long as it's for the Greater Good. And before you cry "hyperbole!", perpetuity is what we're looking at.
A vast amount of medical science and knowledge was gleaned from the horrors of human experimentation. I'm sorry if you didn't know that, but it's true, and it would be dishonest to have this discussion without bringing it up. So many people blink and eventually say something like "so many lives have been saved." True, in a way, but so many have been lost. Human experimentation (of the horrific kind) never died, it just went underground, and the little bits of knowledge tossed out from the government about what the government "used to do" is enough to make a sane person sick.
Aside from that and back to "so many lives have been saved." Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US. THIRD seems like a lot. This, of course, does not account for all the recalls in medical equipment and medicines, because ten years later it seems some these medicines are killing people. Oops. So we're all being experimented on, and these medicines aren't always that great.
Who can count up the total of lives lost to lives saved? What's the balance, in the end?
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that it's true. Many lives saved to lives lost (lives we try not to think about.) What are we saying? That extended life is what we were meant for, by whatever means? That saving our own lives until we eek out every last drop from it, taking more than giving, is not only the point, but worth the human sacrifices along the way? At what point could you muster the courage to say that your life is more worthy than to extend it through honoring evil, less worth than torturing another soul for to gain a few years?
No, not all medical advances were built on torturous human experimentation. Some of it was. Is it honored?
Let's look at the here and now. Human brain cells are being grown in mice. Aborted baby parts are being sold at a high price, and we know it's not for nothing. Aborted baby cells are being kept alive to grow medicines, to test medicines, to test your food for flavorfulness. Does God honor these things for the Greater Good, or does He see them as the High Places that need to be torn down?
We have no right to condemn the ancient tribes for practicing human sacrifice. They were trying to save the many with the few, for the Greater Good. One death for a crop, one child. How could we judge? But God did. He pulled down whole nations for it.
What you do with the information you gleaned is between you and God. There are no easy fixes. My life was also saved once through medical science. But we must be sure not to assuage our own sense of complacency and call it The Lord. He has always demanded that we tear down the High Places. Only One human sacrifice was pleasing to Him; the One He sent Himself. WE have no right to demand that anyone give up, be tortured for, or risk their life for ours. We have no right to take evil and say it is good.
May God have mercy on our souls, we have turned a blind eye to medical science and whatever it is doing at the moment, as long as the outcome is to our benefit.

The author is not wrong on that account, so make up your own minds. There is also quite a list of things that HEK293 is used for, so I won't go into here, and description of so many ways that we all have blood on our hands.
