FDA:

As FDA employees, you hold very significant federal positions regarding the future of America. Your new guidelines to the pharmaceutical industry regarding the manufacture of current and future vaccines includes both ethical cell lines and aborted fetal cell lines. I urge you most strongly to withdraw and revise these guidelines immediately. Allowing further use of aborted fetal stem cell lines is reminscent of similar medical experimentation on human beings that began largely unchallenged and unnoticed in Nazi Germany and developed, over time, into one of the greatest wholesale slaughters of human beings this earth has ever seen. As a nation founded on Judeo-Christian ethical principles, we Americans cannot allow ourselves to climb onto this same slippery slope of destroying one living human being to help another. What is it about "Thou Shalt Not Kill" that you don't understand. This clearly unethical line of reasoning will surely one day lead to the wholesale slaughter of innocent, defensless, and defective human beings of all ages in America. One day we will all stand before God--answerable to Him for the decisions we make and the guidelines we issue during our time here on earth. Now is the time to do the right thing. Please do so with great haste.
