GENERAL

I adamantly oppose all use of aborted fetal cell lines for future vaccine development. There are other ethical options, such as bacteria, insect cell lines and chick embryos. I feel that God and The US Declaration of Independence clearly gives guidelines by which we are to model ourselves....

The 5th Commandment of God: 'Thou Shalt Not Kill'.

'Moses was taught that men were living in such unruly ways, lacking self-discipline, and all men were to be told that to kill was against God, for do not forget, God is The Creator and The Judge. Men do not have the right to kill another human being, whether it be to take his life, his will, his dignity, his skill, his mind, his hope, his trust, his integrity. Men can be depleted of physical energy, emotional control and spiritual strength by another man's lack of self-discipline, emotional instability, greed, hate, lust, anger, lack of charity.

To kill is to rob man of the great privilege reserved for God alone. Only God has the right to judge when the physical must end.'

Declaration of Independence: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness'.

As a nation we need to stand firm against anything which stands in the way of human justice.
