 There are serious ethical issues with using any cells from aborted or cloned or harvested embryos as biological starting materials for production of vaccines. As a parent or for myself, I would have to refuse injection of any such derived vaccines. My life is not 'more important' than the life of another human and a unique human life begins at conception.
