Fourteen universities throughout America are researching congenital malformations of the urinary tract and genitals in aborted fetuses. The fetuses are obtained by elective abortions and their organs are harvested for research, which is expressed in the creation of a human-rat hybrid species. The University of Pittsburgh is the leading institution behind said research because of their nationally recognized fetal tissue and organ collection and distribution site. The acquisition of tissues, organs, and other various body parts from aborted children is identified by the minimal ischemia time, which implies live patients being killed by the removal of organs. 

The National Institute of Health, branched from the Department of Health and Human Services, has granted the University of Pittsburgh and all Atlas projects $3.2 million to conduct research that “has no actual or potential impact” on the environment, according to their grant application. Atlas projects exist at the following universities: University of Pittsburgh, Boston University, Tufts University, Rutgers University, George Mason University, Duke University, University of Tennessee, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Louisville, University of Texas at Galveston, University of Chicago, Tulane University, University of Missouri, and Colorado State University.
