Donum Vitae, the Instruction on Respect for Human Life in its Origin and on the Dignity of Procreation, [1] was issued on 22 February 1987 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
In the document, the Pontiff Emeritus states, "The corpses of human embryos and foetuses, whether they have been deliberately aborted or not, must be respected just as the remains of other human beings. ... Also, in the case of dead foetuses, as for the corpses of adult persons, all commercial trafficking must be considered illicit and should be prohibited."
This guidance within Donum Vitae serves as reminder that current controversy respecting abortion-contaminant vaccines is not merely academic. At the heart of the debate is whether commercialization of aborted babies' historic remnants for vacinal purpose is of questionable morality.
The sale of an innocent has precedent. Christ was sold for thirty silver pieces. Counsel within Donum Vitae would prevent repetition of the same mistake. Commercial trafficking of aborted unborn must be unequivocally rejected.
Of note to observers is the fact that efficacious vaccines which carry no ethical stigma are available. John Paul II MedicalResearch [2] and Charlotte Lozier Institutes [3] continue as forerunners in respect of ethical vaccines production which do not utilize abortion-derived fetal cell-lines. Other means of manufacture such as umbilical cord cells and adult stem cells are used. Placenta from newborns is donated.
The statement "Physician support for ethical vaccines" released in December 2020 by Catholic Medical Association et al [5] considers that JP II Medical Research Institute's use of umbilical cord and adult stem cells and other ethical approaches provide encouragement for the future, where no vaccine will violate the dignity of human life in their products.

VACCINE ISSUES
Botswana
Botswana is reportedly investigating the death of two people who had been given doses of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine to see if there is any link, the health ministry said; Alleged News. [2]
U.S. Government funded database "VAERS"
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines; Alleged News. [3]

Norway - deadly blood clots caused by AstraZeneca vaccine
Norwegian experts say that deadly blood clots were caused by the AstraZeneca covid vaccine; Alleged News. [7] Professor and Chief Physician Pal Andre Holme led the work to find out why three health workers under the age of 50 were hospitalized with serious blood clots and low levels of blood platelets after having taken the AstraZeneca covid vaccine; Alleged News. [7] One of the health workers died, Alleged News. [7] The experts worked on a theory that it was in fact the vaccine which triggered an unexpected and powerful immune response - a theory they now believe they have confirmed; Alleged News. [7]
"Our theory that this is a powerful immune response which most likely was caused by the vaccine has been found. In collaboration with experts in the field from the University Hospital of North Norway HF, we have found specific antibodies against blood platelets that can cause these reactions, and which we know from other fields of medicine, but then with medical drugs as the cause of the reaction", the Chief Physician explained; Alleged News. [7]
When asked to clarify why he says "most likely" in the quote, Professor Holme responded that the reason for these rare cases of blood clots has been found: "We have the reason. Nothing but the vaccine can explain why these individuals had this immune response", he stated; Alleged News. [7]
When Professor Holme was asked how he could know that the immune response is not caused by something other than the vaccine, he responded, "There is nothing in the patient history of these individuals that can give such a powerful immune response. I am confident that the antibodies that we have found are the cause, and I see no other explanation than it being the vaccine which triggers it," Alleged News. [7]

Neither of the mRNA vaccines is FDA approved, rather, they have Emergency Use Approval (EUA); Alleged News. [9] They represent a departure from traditional vaccines in that they do not use any part of the suspected pathogen to stimulate the immune system, but rather, nucleoside messenger RNA: Alleged News. [9]
Dr Christian Perrone, Head of Infectious Disease at the Hopital de Garches in France, stated in a complaint filed in Europe:
"The first vaccines they are offering us are not vaccines. They are gene therapy products. They ... inject nucleic acids that will cause our own cells to produce elements of the virus", Alleged News. [9]

FIRST DO NO HARM

PRETORIA SOUTH AFRICA: THE "VOICE OF THE UNBORN BABY" HAS FINALLY BEEN HEARD, ALLEGED NEWS. [1] Parents opting to bury their dead unborn child, even if the unborn is less than 26 weeks old, may now do so: Alleged News. [1] Previously, an unborn deceased child less than 26 weeks old was discarded as medical waste. This led to endless heartache in families for many years.
JUDGEMENT A VICTORY
While this judgement is considered a victory for prospective parents, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has excluded the right to bury unborn children who have been medically terminated, including abortions; Alleged News. [1]
VOICE OF THE UNBORN BABY
A group called the "Voice of the Unborn Baby", as well as the Catholic Archdiocese of Durban, challenged the constitutionality of some of the provisions of the Births and Deaths Registration Act (Badra) as it related to how the remains of a spontaneous pregnancy loss of less than 26 weeks and the remains of an induced loss of pregnancy should be disposed of; Alleged News. [1]
JUDGE NOMONDE MNGQIBISA-THUSI
Judge Nomonde Mngqibisa-Thusi said that in the case of pregnancy loss, other than by medical intervention, bereaved parents should have the choice to bury the foetus, Alleged News. [1] The Judge moreover declared the provisions of Badra unconstitutional and invalid where it did not make provision for this: Alleged News. [1]
Parliament has a year to amend the act to make provision for the burial of an unborn child younger than 26 weeks; Alleged News. [1] The Constitutional Court will firstly need to confirm the judgment before it can come into effect: Alleged News. [1]
TRAUMA
The Judge said there was no doubt that pregnancy loss results in emotional and psychological pain or trauma to the prospective parents: Alleged News. [1]
AN UNBORN BABY IS NOT MEDICAL WASTE
The applicants had argued that the emotional pain and grief these parents suffer was no different from those of parents of a stillbirth, taking into account the emotional investment made and the bonding between the parents and the unborn child, Alleged News. [1]
“The emotional pain is exacerbated by the manner in which the foetal remains are dealt with after separation from the mother, and the lack of sympathy received from hospital staff during the separation. These foetal remains are put together with other medical waste and incinerated.
“It cannot be disputed that to the medical staff the foetal remains may be just trash or waste. But to the would-be parents it is not just a thing to be thrown away. To them the foetal remains represent what could have been a child, in some instances a long-awaited child,” the Judge said.
She added that treating the foetal remains as waste was “to say the least, insensitive and disrespectful to the parents who procreated with the hope that the foetus will result in a living being”.
The Judge said there was no reason why the provisions cannot be adapted to cater for a loss of pregnancy other than a stillbirth for those who wish to perform the last rites for the prospective baby and conduct a burial.
“The dignity of the parents who have suffered a loss will be restored. There is no rational link between the purpose of incinerating the foetal remains of a pregnancy loss other than a stillbirth and the cause of the loss.
“Allowing the parents’ to bury the foetal remains under the circumstances will go a long way towards ameliorating the pain caused by the loss and will assist in the process of healing,” the Judge said; Alleged News. [1]
Judge Mngqibisa-Thusi concluded that those parents who request a burial (excluding medical terminations) should be given the right to do so: Alleged News. [1]
