GENERAL
To FDA: As the mother of seven children I deal with vaccination issues regularly. It is very difficult to look at a beautiful newborn whose face I saw on ultrasound and say it is ok to give her a vaccine developed with the use of an aborted child. Yet I know to have few children vaccinated against diseases now means increasing the likelyhood they don't get exposed to the disease until they reach the teen years or adulthood when the disease may be more deadly.
IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO UTILIZE NON-OBJECTIONABLE CELL LINES IN VACCINE
PRODUCTION SO THAT ALL PEOPLE CAN BENEFIT FROM THEM WITHOUT
COMPROMISING THEIR MORAL BELIEFS AND PRO-LIFE CONVICTIONS. THERE IS AN
ABUNDANCE OF ETHICAL SOURCES I urge you to use cell lines that allow me to vaccinate with a clear conscience.
| also am a leader in the local homeschool community and nearing the age of influencing grandchildren and would like to know the FDA made a difference for them.

My Thanks for your consideration,
Mrs. Mary V. Brazeau
