PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO USE FETAL STEM CELLS IN CREATING VACCINES. THIS IS EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE TO THOSE OF US WHO OPPOSE ABORTION. FURTHERMORE, IT WOULD BE CONTRARY TO THE GOAL OF IMMUNIZING--TO STEM THE OUTBREAK OF DISEASE--IN THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL OPT NOT TO RECEIVE SUCH VACCINES, THUS PREVENTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO ERADICATE THOSE DISEASES.
