 We should not continue to use cells derived from aborted babies to produce vaccines.  This is clearly unethical.  These babies died because they were unwanted.  They did not give their lives for the sake of others, it was taken from them. To further use their cells denies their dignity as human beings.  There are people that care about upholding the sacredness of human life, even in its earliest stages.  I meet many people who voice their concerns on using fetal derived vaccines in my practice, and they prefer to avoid such vaccines.

Thank you for allowing us to comment on this subject.

Sincerely,
