 We have been informed that the FDA has issued new guidelines for the pharmaceutical industry regarding the use of various types of cell lines that are being used and will be used in the future for the manufacture of vaccines.  These cell lines include several ethical sources as well as ABORTED FETAL CELL LINES.

  In 'Horton Hears a Who' by Dr. Seuss we see that there is life where we would not even give thought to there being life.  And that we should look at life with respect and take care of it - because life is life and should not be destroyed for the convenience of anyone or anything.  Now as far as human life goes - we adults are responsible to protect the life that is unable to protect itself.  It's the natural law.  And in giving this thought you yourself might want to give thanks to the adults that protected you when you were unable to do so yourself.

  In using aborted fetal cells the FDA will become dependant on the use of them and then therefore will perhaps come to needing the cells - which will create a 'demand' for them and thus creating a need for abortions....the ending of life... life we as adults are called to protect.

   We Do Not Support this practice.
