Title
The Anscombe Bioethics Centre: COVID-19 Briefing Paper 2
Religious movement
Catholic
Description or narrative
The Anscombe Bioethics Centre released a Briefing paper on COVID-19 vaccines in April 2020. While many vaccines are produced using living cells, they can also be produced from the HEK 293 or the PER C6 cell lines from aborted tissue from the 1970’s and 1980’s. When it comes to compliance and consciousness, people are often conflicted at receiving vaccines that use these cell lines. In the paper it states for those who believe abortion is unjust, it should be clear that the use of fetal tissue and its use should also be unjust. According to the article, using the fetal cell lines in the production of vaccines causes a moral issue as the use of the tissue indicates the compliance and acknowledgement of abortion.
