 I would like to strongly encourage you to avoid creating vaccines derived from aborted fetuses.  As awareness on this topic is raised, more people like me will begin to refuse vaccines that are not made ethically.  In order to truly protect America as a whole, it is imperative that your vaccines be acceptable to Americans.  This cannot be the case when vaccines are derived from human fetal tissue.  Please consider using the ethical alternatives available, such as chick embryos.  Thank you for your consideration.
