GENERAL
The FDA should be promoting the use of ethical cell lines and not those derived from aborted fetal tissue. This only adds to the "market" for these companies who dont use ethics in their methods. These companies will be boycotted by myself and many others. And there are ethical alternatives for these vaccines that do not use these aborted cell lines.
So please consider the alternatives in this issue and do the right thing. This is definitely a morality issue that is very important in respecting human beings in their development stage. Remember that each one of use was once a fetal (baby) group of cells and just as I would not want this to happen to me or would you because we would not be around to live our lives as intended; and therefore we would not allow this fetal cell processing to go on.
