 The use of aborted tissue for vaccines is an ethical minefield - one you are forcing ordinary Americans to walk through every day.  Often we do not have a choice about vaccinating our children - e.g. if they are in public schools.  At the very least, Americans should have the option to vaccinate their children without compromising their moral or ethical beliefs.  There are sound alternatives available.  If the only reason to NOT persue these alternatives is to protect the interests of pharmaceutical companies then we have let capitalism replace our humanity.  We have the right to choose the moral code we will adhere to; are you so willing to remove that choice for so many people?
