*PharmFacts E-News Update -- 3 Mar 2008 AD #2

*
Dear Supporters,
    Many of you have followed our efforts over the past 8 years.  You 
have helped us immensely by getting the word out to the public about the 
use of aborted fetal cell lines in vaccines by distributing our 
materials at pro-life events, to friends and family and 
especially through your prayers.  Some have also made donations as they 
could.  I know all of you have waited patiently for the news I am 
sharing with you today - news that is sure to fill every one of you with 
much joy and hope for our future.
    I'm sure there will be many questions in the coming weeks and months 
- how, when, where - and you can be assured I will keep you all updated 
as we progress.  For now I would simply ask that you say a special 
prayer in thanksgiving and for the success of AVM Biotechnology.
God bless you always,
Debi Vinnedge

*Biotech Firm To Provide Ethical Alternatives to Aborted Fetal Vaccines*

* *

*(Seattle) In a victory for pro-life families around the world, AVM 
Biotechnology LLC (AVM Biotech) today announced their decision to 
provide ethical alternatives in the fields of biotechnology, 
pharmaceuticals, and vaccine development.*

* *

*Dr Theresa Deisher, AVM Biotech Research and Development Director and 
founder stated, "We will be working to bring commercially available, 
morally acceptable, vaccines to the US market and to use existing 
technology to produce new morally certified vaccines.  Revenues from the 
vaccine business will also further the research, development and 
commercialization of morally certified therapeutics in other areas of 
medicine as well."*

* *

*The announcement was an answer to years of hard work and prayers for 
Children of God for Life, a pro-life organization that has battled to 
bring moral alternatives to aborted fetal vaccines to the US market for 
nearly a decade. *

* *

*"There are no words sufficient to express our deepest gratitude to Dr 
Deisher and AVM Biotech", noted the group's Executive Director, Debi 
Vinnedge, who was also named to AVM Biotech's Advisory Board for vaccine 
development. *

* *

*While most vaccines and medicines are produced in an ethical manner, 
several are manufactured using cell lines derived from aborted fetal 
tissue with no competing ethical products available. Vinnedge noted this 
has left concerned pro-life families in both a difficult and unjust 
position.*

* *

*"For too long parents who want to protect their children without 
compromising their deeply held pro-life and religious beliefs have been 
coerced into an unnecessary and unjust moral dilemma," she stated. "No 
one should be forced to choose between these two fundamental human rights."*

* *

*Both organizations hope that the news will spark members of Congress to 
move forward with their Fair Labeling and Informed Consent legislation, 
a bill that would require full disclosure from the pharmaceutical 
industry whenever aborted fetal or embryonic cell lines are used in 
medical products. *

* *

*"Every consumer, whether pro-life in philosophy or not, has the right 
to know if human fetal cell contaminants are present in the drugs they 
receive", noted Dr Deisher. "Consumers should be informed and empowered 
to make the best health care choices for themselves and their families.  
Surely, if we have the right to know what is in our fast food, we should 
also have the right to know what is in our medicine."*

*** *

*AVM Biotech intends to further assist in this effort by certifying that 
its therapeutic products are not discovered, screened, evaluated, 
produced, or tainted in any way by the use of electively aborted human 
fetal material, human embryonic material, or any other unethically 
obtained materials.*
