 I was sickened to hear today that common vaccines such as the MMR use embryonic and aborted fetal cells. I strongly oppose such measures. Surely we, as a civilized society, can develop vaccines that do not destroy life in order to protect it. The use of non-embryonic or fetal cells seems to me a much more morally acceptable alternative.
