GENERAL
First, thank you for presenting the American public with an opportunity to comment on the source materials for vaccinations.

While, I understand the value of vaccinations for myself and my family, I also recognize the value of every individual life, whether wanted or not, whether sick or healthy, whether physically or mentally handicapped or not. Because I believe in the inherent value of every human person, I oppose the use of embryonic stem cells obtained from aborted fetuses or the 'left-over' embryos from in vitro fertilizations.

I encourage the FDA to promote research by companies that will utilize non-objectionable methods.

Again, thank you for giving the American people this opportunity to voice our concerns.
