Yes, you make good points on seeing things from other angles, thanks. I will attempt to be more balanced. I think I was attempting to disambiguate the information. It's often a mix of issues to support a one sided narrative in these posts. This post is no different from my perspective. The facts are there but hidden or obfuscated behind the rhetoric.
The use of fetal tissue in the use of medical research was discussed in the 1988 Fetal Tissue Trans-plantation Panel, setup by the President, at the time. The panel delved deep into the underlying issue of ethics and biomedical politics in the use of fetal tissue for research.
Fairly long write-up but good read on the deliberations.

With the advance of medical technologies hopefully other methods will be developed to remove the stigma attached to these cell lines. I'm guessing that would still not remove the barrier to vaccination with the majority of those opposed to vaccination? Or would it?
I can understand. There is a lot of disinformation out there as well as what you said there being a lot of rhetoric. But yes I believe it is important to be as balanced as you can especially if your mission is to change minds.
I will check out the book you sent. It should be interesting. Yeah I would agree that hopefully if technology keeps improving it might change how they are made and remove the issues that some people have with them. I could see that happening, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Thanks for the response!
