Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to urge you to make available vaccines that are not manufactured from the tissues of aborted, IVF-conceived, or cloned (via SCNT) human embryos. Effective vaccines can be produced without recourse to these tiny human organisms. Parents like myself should not be put in the position of choosing between protecting their own children from disease and exploiting other children.

The human being, no matter what his size or stage of development, ought to be treated with the utmost respect and not viewed as mere particles of matter that can be recycled for other uses. Such utilitarianism might be efficient, but will lead to further disregard for the sanctity of human life.

Thank you for reading this letter and taking my concerns into account.

Sincerely,

Vivian W. Dudro
