 I strongly urge the FDA to issue guidelines to pharmaceutical companies that prohibits the use of stem cells from fetal tissue obtained from aborted babies when manufacturing vaccines.  The use of non-objectionable cell lines in the production of vaccines will make it possible for all people to benefit from them without compromising their moral beliefs and pro-life convictions.  I and my family will not receive any vaccine produced from fetal tissue obtained from aborted babies.  There is no good reason to use these objectionable cell lines, since there is an abundance of ethical sources.  My family and I therefore respectfully submit this request so that the FDA will protect the intrinsic value and dignity of all human life, no matter how early in its development.  Thank you for your consideration of our comments in this very important matter.
