Recently it has come to my attention that some vaccinations are made from aborted feta tissue. Is this true? Are all the vaccinations from this or only some? If anyone knows where I can find more information on this I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Yours in Christ Jesus
 
The only reason a vaccination would be made from “aborted fetal tissue” would be as a ridiculous effort to prevent pregnancy. Sounds like propaganda from a bored high school student.

Vaccinations are made from egg serum (see “chicken egg”) or something like that and a dead virus such as smallpox, rabies, etc. The dead virus causes the immune system to react and create antibodies (or is it antigens?) to the virus, thus protecting the person from contracting the disease if ever exposed.

Given this, does it seem logical to you that fetal tissue would be used for this?

Pick up a medical encyclopedia, go to Web MD or ask your doctor. There is a wealth of information out there on vaccinations.
 
The telephone number of the CDC is 1 (800) 232-2522. You can call them to get more information about this. I spoke with someone there a few months ago to ask about this same rumour. Unfortunately, it’s not a rumour. Not all, but a couple vaccines use something from a stem cell line of an aborted baby from many years ago. I don’t remember which ones. This doesn’t mean we as Catholics can’t use the vaccinations, as I understand the ethics of this. But it does make me wish that our research dollars would be spent to find vaccines from less offensive sources.
 
The strains were taken from some aborted babies back in the 60s that had the desease. They still use those same strains today, its perfectly ethical to use the vaccines. Sometimes we can find great good out of evil acts of others.

The story was on The Drew Mariani Show, Relvent Radio last night. Dr. Mayer Eisenstein is a graduate of the University of Illinois Medical School, the Medical College of Wisconsin School of Public Health, and the John Marshall Law School, was his guest.

This topic was brought up in the call in show, the doctor pointed out that there are two vaccinations cultivated on ABORTED FETUS tissue:
  1. The mandatory German Measle (rubella) Vaccine
  2. The mandatory Chicken Pox Vaccine

I think CAtholics and the pro-life movement should lobby for legislation to prevent all “medical” uses of aborted fetuses. The vaccines developed using old stem cell lines are okay to use because you did not participate in the original evil act that obtained the stem cells, and a proportionate good has arisen out of an evil act long ago, that the current users did not take part in. If a man is murdered, is it morally permissible to accept his heart or kidney as an organ recipient. Yes because neither you nor the transplant doctors participated in the evil act that killed him. You are accepting God’s hand in finding good out of an evil act.

That is how they are justifying this…they say the tissue was harvested (like it was corn) back in the 60’s … before Roe v. Wade. But it opens the door to more and more. We do have the right (in 48/50 states) to refuse the vaccines on religious ground.

dhgray - Thank you for the information. I get Catholic radio from the other end of the state and it is sporadic and faint. I listen to what I can and when I can. The web site links you provided were helpful and informative on this issue.

To a previous poster - I am a 35-year-old mother of 3 children, one of whom has a profound hearing loss. I am not a bored high school student. I ask for a little more charity when responding please.

As to:
If a man is murdered, is it morally permissible to accept his heart or kidney as an organ recipient. Yes because neither you nor the transplant doctors participated in the evil act that killed him. You are accepting God’s hand in finding good out of an evil act.

Organ transplant is a different issue. The murdered man may have designated on his driver’s license that he was willing to donate his organs. His wife or parents may have consented to such an action.

As to using stem cells from aborted babies (the more I think about it - referring to aborted baby being as fetal tissue is stepping on the slippery slope. It is a baby.) I do not see it as the same circumstance as above. By accepting medical treatments and procedures involving aborted babies, you are a co-conspirator in the sin of abortion as well. Yes, it is true that God permits evil to happen as it is by our own free will that evil is committed. However, He does not use the evil to allow good acts. It is turning to God for guidance and following His will in the midst of adversity when we receive God’s graces.

They no longer use any form of the aborted babys from the 1960s. They are just using that particular strain today. The moral logic is sound to use them, in fact I would say it would be a sin not to.
Now if they were continueing to use aborted babies or embyronic stem cells to create the vaccine then the correct ethical logic would be to not use it.
But not usieng the vaccines from those fetuses would be the same as not useing chemo therepy becuase its roots was discovered at Hiroshima.
