American Life League 2006 - Medical cannibals: The moral implications of fetal tissue vaccines While fetal tissue harvesting and research are widely discussed, a more insidious moral dilemma remains unmentioned: the use of fetal tissue obtained from abortion and used to generate vaccines. Thus, the evil act which procured the tissues is complete and sufficiently remote from the present use of the tissues that whoever uses the vaccine today is not morally complicit in the original abortion. While using the vaccine is not identical to attending the abortion, using products derived from the living tissues of a murdered child is uncomfortably close to immediate material cooperation with the vaccine generators. www.all.org /article.php?id=10169   (2919 words)

Catholic World News : Vatican official clarifies stand on vaccines from fetal tissue Vatican, Jul. 25, 2005 (CWNews.com) - Although the Pontifical Academy for Life has strongly condemned the development of vaccines from fetal tissues, the president of that Academy notes that parents may still be justified in having their children inoculated with such vaccines. The Vatican document-- which was made public last week by the American group, Children of God for Life-- said that different actors have different degrees of moral involvement in the use of fetal tissues. Fetal tissue use to protect a child who was allowed to live is the top of a slippery slope that the Church should run from as fast as possible. www.cwnews.com /news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=38609   (517 words)

VACCINES AND THEIR SOURCE CELL LINES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) The reasons for using fetal cell lines are: (1) fetal cells divide much more rapidly than adult cells, and (2) there is a safety advantage in using human, rather than animal, cell lines for development and manufacture of vaccines for humans. Some vaccines such as rubella and varicella are made from human cell-line cultures, and some of these cell lines originated from aborted fetal tissue, obtained from legal abortions in the 1960s. Hepatitis A vaccine, inactivated is a noninfectious hepatitis A vaccine. www.whale.to /v/vaccines_and_their_source_cell_l.htm   (561 words)

Fetal tissue The new chicken pox vaccine made by Merck Frosst Pharmaceuticals is grown on the MRC-5 cell line derived from the normal lung tissue of a 14-week-old male fetus aborted "for psychiatric reasons." So are the polio and hepatitis A vaccines. The rubella virus in the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) three-in-one shot is grown on the WI-38 cell line-developed in 1961 from an aborted three-month-old female fetus. While the safety issue is important to all parents and physicians, the use of aborted fetal tissue is important to the pro-life movement and those parents who rightly refuse these vaccinations based on moral conscience. www.vaccinetruth.org /fetal_tissue.htm   (4073 words)

Immunity From Evil?: Vaccines Derived from Abortion While most parents are shocked to learn that their children have been injected with vaccines cultured on and containing residual components of aborted fetal tissue, anger turns to anxiety once physicians and school officials point out that the vaccines are necessary for children to attend school. Four conditions determine whether using such vaccines is licit: the seriousness of the sin of abortion, the necessity of vaccination, the possibility of causing scandal, and the vaccines' role in encouraging additional abortions. Indeed, these vaccines were the first fetal tissue therapies to gain widespread acceptance, and their popularity is frequently cited to promote fetal tissue research agendas. www.catholiceducation.org /articles/medical_ethics/me0044.html   (1355 words)

National Liberty Journal - November 2000 Vaccines for chicken pox, Hepatitis-A and Rubella were produced solely from aborted fetal tissue. For example, an alternative to the Polio vaccine is a vaccine known by the name IPOL, which is not derived from aborted tissue. The Rubella vaccine available in the United Kingdom known as Takahashi Strain and the Hepatitis-A vaccine with the brand name of Aimmugen are derived from rabbit and monkey kidney tissue respectively. www.lc.org /radiotv/nlj/nlj0901.htm   (1251 words)

NIP: Vacsafe/Concerns/Gen/Contamination of Vaccines Among vaccines with evidence of RT are the measles, mumps, influenza, and yellow fever vaccines. In March 1995, this vaccine was licensed for use in the United States by the FDA and was shown to be safe and effective. The cell substrates used for measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine are derived from flocks free of avian leukosis virus. www.cdc.gov /node.do/id/0900f3ec800076cb   (1712 words)

Right to Life of Michigan, seeking peaceful, life-affirming solutions The vaccines themselves do not contain fetal cells, but it is presumed that there is "residual" biological matter from the fetal cells that has been assimilated into the vaccine. These vaccines are available in the U.K., but have not yet been given FDA approval for use in the U.S. If these two alternatives were to become available in the U.S., then Chickenpox would be the only abortion-tainted vaccine without an acceptable alternative. The further away the current act (using a vaccine) and intent (protecting a child from a disease) of an individual are from a previous immoral act (aborting a child), the less that individual is restricted by the immorality of the previous act. www.rtl.org /html/hot_topics_html/vaccines.html   (1837 words)

RE: vaccines Prior to licensing the chickenpox vaccine, an important study concluded that a national chickenpox vaccination campaign would shift the age distribution of chickenpox cases from children, who are not likely to experience problems with this disease, to teenagers and adults, who have higher complication rates. I know parents that would have a problem if aborted tissue were in there and being given to their children, but if they knew they came from three fetuses from the 1960's and there isn't any tissue in the vaccine, they wouldn't have a problem. Fetal tissue is not used to produce vaccines; cell lines generated from a single fetal tissue source are used--vaccine manufacturers obtain human cell lines from FDA-certified cell banks."

Catholic World News : Vatican condemns vaccines using fetal tissues Such vaccines are commonly used today in the US to inoculate patients-- usually children-- against diseases such as measles, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, smallpox, rabies, polio, and hepatitis A. In some cases the vaccines developed from fetal tissues are the only products available to patients seeking protection from the disease. Vaccines developed from the tissues of aborted babies involve the manufacturers in an unacceptable moral compromise, the Pontifical Academy for Life observes. When no acceptable vaccines are available, the document points out, parents put into "a context of moral coercion," when they are forced to accept a morally tainted treatment or endanger the health of their children. www.cwnews.com /news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=38498   (1495 words)

From http://www.medaccess.com/cdcimun/Rubella/Rub1_02.htm The live rubella virus vaccine* currently distributed in the United States is prepared human diploid cell culture. In January 1979, this vaccine (RA 27/3) replaced the HPV-77:DE-5 vaccine grown in duck embryo cell culture because it induced higher seroresponse, greater resistance to reinfection, and lower reaction rate. Bivax is a sterile lyophilized preparation of the Wistar RA 27/3 strain of live attenuated rubella virus grown in human diploid cell (WI-38) culture; and the Jeryl Lynn (B level) strain of mumps virus grown in cell cultures of chick embryo. www.nccn.net /~wwithin/abortedtissue.htm   (1230 words)

The Morality of using Vaccines derived from Fetal Tissue Cultures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Catholics troubled by the morality of using vaccines derived from fetal tissue cultures should be mindful of the ancient axiom: Bonum ex integra causa, malum ex quocumque defectu. Human tissue obtained in such a manner is not an object of possession, and can never be an object of possession, irregardless if they are producing vaccines for every disease on Earth. The evil use of fetal tissue for someone's good cannot justify the situation: it is a screaming violation of justice. www.cogforlife.org /vaxwolfe.htm   (2574 words)

American Bioethics Advisory Commission For similar reasons, the comparison of research on stem cells derived from destroyed human embryos with the use of vaccines cultured from fetal tissue obtained from induced abortions is not valid. The connection between the vaccines and the induced abortions is more remote since the vaccines can be developed by means other than induced abortions (see "Fact sheet: Embryonic stem cell research and vaccines using fetal tissue"). Beyond this, though, the direct parallel would be the federal funding of research on vaccines using fetal tissue obtained from abortions specifically performed with the intent of obtaining tissue for research. www.all.org /abac/rf001.htm   (1503 words)

Vaccines: The REAL Story - A Small List of the Lies Told by the Anti-Vaccination Movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) The low rate of childhood diseases are the result of better sanitation and living conditions, not vaccines. When outbreaks occur, the vaccinated children are the most susceptible to infection. Vaccines are recommended by doctors because of the financial interests of the pharmaceutical companies. www.highschoolscience.com /vaccines/vac_lies.html   (265 words)

Today's Family News - Life - Aborted fetal tissue behind many vaccines In many cases, manufacturers of vaccines use these cell strains as a culture on which vaccines are developed. And while not all of the viral vaccines are grown in these cells — the Hepatitis B vaccine and some polio vaccines are grown differently — the lack of ethical options is very concerning to Leiva, who belongs to Canadian Physicians for Life. In an attempt to provide some guidelines about the use of these vaccines, other Christian physicians have concluded that the ethics involved depend on how the vaccines have been developed and the distance between the end user and the means by which the vaccines were originally developed. www.fotf.ca /tfn/life/stories/051006.html   (671 words)

American Family Association - AgapePress news An example is the rubella portion of the MMR vaccine given to children. She acknowledges that using fetal tissue makes production of vaccines easier and quicker, but says its ethical aspect has always been a question mark. She believes the true reason for using fetal tissue is that there is so much available from so many abortions -- and it is inexpensive. headlines.agapepress.org /archive/11/afa/72002c.asp   (516 words)

Vaccines: The REAL Story - Vaccines DO NOT Contain Fetal Tissue The Hepatitis A vaccine, the MMR vaccine, and the chicken pox vaccine all contain viruses (weakened or inactivated) that were grown in human cells. Many vaccines use viruses that can propagate in several kinds of mammal cells, but some viruses are so specific that they can only propagate in human cells. In addition, you are actually dishonoring the memories of those two precious babies if you refuse vaccination, because you are refusing the one good thing that has come from their murder. www.highschoolscience.com /vaccines/vac_abortion.html   (1474 words)

lifeissues.net | Immunity From Evil? While most parents are shocked to learn their children have been injected with vaccines cultured on and containing residual components of aborted fetal tissue, anger soon turns to anxiety once physicians and school administrators point out the vaccines are necessary for children to attend school. In the United States, ten different vaccines for chicken pox, hepatitis A, polio, rabies, and rubella are cultured on aborted tissue from two fetal cell lines known as WI-38 and MRC-5. Scientists at the Wistar Institute took advantage of the 1964-65 rubella epidemic to legally acquire fetal tissue from at least twenty-seven so-called therapeutic abortions conducted on women at risk for rubella. www.lifeissues.net /writers/tay/tay_11immunityfromevil.html   (1230 words)

National Catholic Register  April 20   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Part of the vaccine in question, like many others commonly used in the United States, was produced using the tissue of an aborted baby. The U.S. government is about to develop or purchase a host of new vaccines to protect against bioterrorism, but the administration has no policy to avoid vaccines produced using fetal tissue. It is not known what Bush's position is. While he is pro-life, he cited the precedent of vaccines produced using fetal tissue as a justification for his decision in 2001 to provide funding for embryonic stem cell research, which had caused the destruction of embryos. www.cogforlife.org /register03.htm   (799 words)

NCBC: Response to Pontifical Academy for Life Statement regarding the Use of Vaccines First, the vaccines in question do not use "fetal tissue" but are grown in cell lines derived from fetal tissue. It encourages Catholic parents to vaccinate their children against rubella and other serious diseases despite the unfortunate origin of the cell lines used in the manufacture of the vaccines. At the same time the Academy is very strong in its denunciation of the use of tissue or cells from aborted fetuses and insists that pharmaceutical firms reject their use and develop alternative cell lines for the manufacture of vaccines. www.ncbcenter.org /vaticanresponseNCBC.asp   (611 words)

US fetal derived vaccines As British parents strongly opposed to abortion my husband and I were very concerned to learn that many childhood vaccines are manufactured from the cell lines of aborted babies.

The Right To Choose: Making Informed Decisions About Vaccines Catholic theologians and ethicists have determined that the use of these vaccines comprises “remote material cooperation” with the sin of abortion and, as such, is not necessarily wrong. According to the Illinois Vaccine Awareness Coalition, “the federal government received reports of 12,635 adverse reactions to the chickenpox vaccine, 31 deaths and 590 serious complications.” The Coalition estimates that the actual death toll may be far greater owing to the fact that an estimated 99 percent of adverse reactions to vaccines are unreported. While scientists debate the actual safety of the vaccine, it has become clear that neither the FDA nor the CDC can be trusted to determine which vaccines parents should give their children. www.vaccinationnews.com /DailyNews/May2002/RightToChoose.htm   (1616 words)

Ipsissima Verba » Vatican: Avoid Vaccines from Aborted Babies Vatican, Jul. 19 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican has condemned the use of vaccines derived from fetal tissue, and exhorted Catholics to lobby for the development of alternative vaccines. Such vaccines are commonly used today in the US to inoculate patients– usually children– against diseases such as measles, mumps, chicken pox, rubella, smallpox, rabies, polio, and hepatitis A. In some cases the vaccines developed from fetal tissues are the only products available to patients seeking protection from the disease. They should use conscientious objection and oppose by all means-– in writing, through various associations, mass media, etc,– the vaccines which do not yet have morally acceptable alternatives, creating pressure so that alternative vaccines are prepared, which are not connected with the abortion of a human fetus. blog.slappy.org /?p=378   (1154 words)

List of Canadian Vaccines Made from Aborted Babies Body Parts The COG also state that, similar to organ transplantation, tissues must be “harvested” in a live form in order to be of any use for the purpose of creating a vaccine. “In aborted fetal tissue research, as in any type of human tissue or organ transplant or research, it is essential that the samples collected are still living,” they state. This type of harvest implies informed consent by the mother for her child to be used for scientific or commercial purposes. www.lifesite.net /ldn/2006/apr/06041004.html   (538 words)
