 Dear FDA,



I am strongly against the use of fetal tissue cell lines for the development of vaccines.  Morally acceptable technology is available.  Therefore, the use of the aborted fetal cell lines would demonstrate a lack of concern for the moral values of those of us who are concerned for life at every stage of development--whether in the womb or out of it.  



I will continue to refuse to purchase any vaccine that utilizes aborted fetal cell lines.



Sincerely,



Maria O'Rourke
