 I am strongly opposed to the use of aborted fetal cells being used for vaccinations.  Because there are several other avenues available to get the material necessary for the vaccines, my family and I feel that taking fetal cells is unneccesary and unethical.  When we begin to test fetal cells for their various "health benefits" we need to remember that this is a life--albeit in its early stages.  Where do you draw the line once you begin down this path?  I do not want to see this lead from "unwanted aborted fetal cells" to women choosing to abort for the purpose of science.  In effect you are taking one life to possibly help another and when that is unnecessary what is the point?  You are not even giving the life a choice.  Please do not continue using aborted fetal cells in your vaccinations. Thank you.
