OK people are against using embryos for medical research for cures but ..
what about the chicken pox vaccine?

http://www.vaccinetruth.org/page_221.htm

"The Illinois State Board of health voted against the Chickenpox vaccine mandate due to nine thousand adverse reactions reported in 1995. As of August 2000, Illinois had 231 compensation claims had been filed for 45 deaths and 186 injuries. This vaccine is made from fetal bovine serum, aborted fetal tissue cells and Monosodium Glutamate."

do they really use aborted fetal tissue???
where is the outcry for this?

1. Come on..

Its from a cow! not quite the same thing... But just so you know I don't think we should be giving kids vaccine for chickenpox, we should have centers where you send a young kid to get infected with it! natural immunity last far longer and is more likely to prevent adult infections than the vaccine..

2. Merck's Varivax Insert -
VARIVAX* is a preparation of the Oka/Merck strain of live, attenuated varicella virus. The virus was initially obtained from a child with natural varicella, then introduced into human embryonic lung cell cultures, adapted to and propagated in embryonic guinea pig cell cultures and finally propagated in human diploid cell cultures (WI-38). Further passage of the virus for varicella vaccine was performed at Merck Research Laboratories (MRL) in human diploid cell cultures (MRC-5) that were free of adventitious agents. This live, attenuated varicella vaccine is a lyophilized preparation containing sucrose, phosphate, glutamate, and processed gelatin as stabilizers.

3. "bovine"
they only abort cows, so it's OK.

Everybody knows that cows don't think and can't feel.
