 Dear FDA,



At present, it is my understanding that the human diploid cell lines MCR-5, WI-38, HEK-293, MR-9, and PER.CA are used.



As a parent, I will not vaccinate my children with vaccines produced from these cell lines because it violates my conscience.



There are other morally acceptable alternatives, which we would use if only available.  These vaccines are those that use animal substrates.



Please abandon your use of aborted fetal cells and use only morally acceptable ones.



Sincerely in Christ,



Andrew Schmiedicke
