 I was appalled to hear that many vaccines are produced using cell lines from aborted children.  When there are perfectly viable alternatives, why on earth would you do this?!?  Please discontinue the use of vaccines based on aborted fetal tissue.  There are enough people in this country who are scared of vaccines and don't want their children vaccinated.  Please don't give them an additional excuse to not use the vaccines.  We have largely forgotten the horrors of the diseases that we have vaccines for, but we are asking for trouble the more excuses we give people not to use them.
