GENERAL
I want to strongly urge revision of the guidelines to explicitly prohibit the use of tissue from directly aborted fetuses and destroyed embryos in the future, in the development of vaccines to be approved by th FDA. I also urge the FDA to encourge and approve the development of cell lines not derived from tissue taken from directly aborted fetuses and the approval of the importation of save vaccines which have been manufactured without using cell lines from aborted fetuses or destroyed embroyos.
