 I am writing about the use  of fetal cells from aborted fetuses.  I am a pediatrian and it is unnecessary to use fetal cell lines to   

develop new vaccines when vaccines can be developed with use of human cell lines from surgical tissue or animal cell lines or viral and bacterial cell lines.  The use of fetal tissue from aborted infants is immoral and unnecessary.
