 I would like to express my support for the use of non-fetal material to develop vaccines. As a consumer, I wish to be able to choose to use vaccines that do NOT use aborted fetal material - I would go out of my way to purchase and use these ethically appropriate vaccines, and to promote the use of these vaccines to other consumers. 



The use of aborted fetal material to create vaccines has created a severe moral dilemma among many, including myself, who consider an unborn fetus a person - because the unborn fetus contains the exact same genetic code as a born fetus, whether the born fetus is 2 months old or 82 years old.



To give us the opportunity to purchase and use vaccines that are created without using aborted fetal material is one that I strongly support, and were such vaccines to be developed and made known to me, I would promote them publicly. I ask that the FDA, CDC, and all companies developing vaccines today may continue to fund and support the development of vaccines using non-fetal material.
