MRL Opposes Research for Vaccines With No Pro-Life Boundaries

Missouri Right to Life supports finding a vaccine for COVID-19 (or other vaccines) through ethical research that does not include tissue from aborted babies or embryonic stem cell research.

We encourage our state and national leaders to support ethical research as they work to find a vaccine for the corona virus (COVID-19). The goal is saving and protecting lives at every step of the process for everyone.

Johnson and Johnson Vaccine Statement from Charlotte Lozier Institute

It is important that all industries, but especially medical, scientific, and pharmaceutical industries, adhere to ethical guidelines that protect life at all stages and in all conditions.  An open-ended invitation to subsidize any and all research can lead to shortcuts and abuses that do not uphold the best interests of medicine or the citizens whom medical research should serve.  A few potential examples are trafficking in aborted fetal organs and tissues supposedly for drug testing or study of viruses and vaccines, as well as altered abortion procedures and timing to procure desired particular gestational age organs, creation and destruction of human embryos by fertilization, cloning (somatic cell nuclear transfer), and other techniques, for study of the embryos directly as well as to harvest cells for development of cell lines, for toxicology and teratology studies, as well as vaccine and drug development and testing.  Moreover, there is no necessity for creation or use of embryos, embryonic stem cells, fetal tissue and organs, or fetal cell lines.  Numerous ethical alternatives already exist, modern and in many cases already proven.  Ethically guided science and medicine is actually the best investment for success.
