A friend asks about the moral use of vaccines that were developed with or use tissue, called “descendant cells,” from aborted children. Here are some resources from the ever useful National Catholic Bioethics Center:
The Morality of Vaccinating Our Children, by Father Tad Pacholczyk, the Center’s director of education.
The Use of Human “Biological Material” of Illicit Origin, a commentary On Dignitas Personae by Dr. John Haas, president of the Center, and Dr. Edward Furton, its director of publications.
