 To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to let you know of my opposition to the use of fetal stem cells to cultivate vaccines.  Some of my children have already received these vaccines, as they are required to by law.  I feel this is a a terrible choice that we as parents are forced to make:  to compromise our children's health or to compromise our moral beliefs.  

Because I hold that life is sacred, and that these fetus's are human beings, I would like the FDA to hold drug companies responsible for using the more morally acceptable methods for developing vaccines.  I would also like the vaccines that already exist, which do not use fetal stem cells, to be made more available to the American public.

Please do not force us to abstain from vaccination ourselves and our children

Thank you,

Marie Raffin
