 Currently, the National Institutes of Health is working with pharmaceutical companies to develop new vaccines for Ebola, HIV, Regular Influenza and Avian Flu in the event of a pandemic outbreak!  Some companies such as Merck and Sanofi Pasteur are using aborted fetal cell lines.  Others are using ethical cell substrates such as salmonella bacteria, insect cell lines and chick embryo. 



I am highly opposed to using aborted fell cell lines for medicial purposes, and I will not buy or use products garnished from this immoral means.
