I am appalled to find out that products may be made by using aborted fetal cell lines under Docket Number 2006D-0383. To use the body of a life that has been destroyed, which may be legal under law, for vaccines is highly unmoral. We know that fetus or embryo is life, it is living as it moves of its own accord and has its own DNA, and so abortion would seem unethical. To use the remains of life that had no defense against death for research or for vaccines gives a totally new level to the morality of abortion. I and many whom I know will boycott such products if they are made. There are other methods that are ethical to all Americans to produce vaccines.
