| I would like to request that alternative sources other that the cell lines of aborted fetuses be used to discover effective vaccines. I believe that it is unethical, 'the means does not justify the ends', to use aborted fetuses for research. I am concerned that many consumers of healthcare will not utilize the vaccines that are obtained from aborted fetuses and therefore, the efficacy of the vaccine will be diminished as well.Thank you | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
