 I am writing to express my desire to see vaccines that DO NOT use aborted fetal and embryonic cell lines made available to the public.  Failing to make these vaccines available would result in groups of people who would be unable to use these vaccines, since they find them ethically objectionable.  This would present a health risk to society at large.



I encourage you to find ways of producing vaccines that do not use cells from procedures that people, like myself, find morally repugnant.  If these vaccines are made available, people like myself will do all they can to promote awareness of their existence, thus providing an economic basis for pharmaceutical companies to market these morally non-controversial products.
