Is the Vatican being hypocritical?
The Vatican just released a statement on bioethics saying Catholics can use vaccines developed using embryonic stem cells (or as they put it - aborted fetuses). They still say the research is wrong, but have no problem using the results. Does anyone else see the extreme hypocrisy in this? If you're using the vaccine you're endorsing the product, to then go and condemn it and try and prevent other similar vaccines from being created and help other people in a similar manner just strikes me as wrong.

You have Absolutely No Idea what your writing about!
The Fetus Farming Prohibition Act amends current federal law against abuses in the area of fetal tissue research. It would prevent the use of human fetal tissue (such as fetal stem cells) obtained by growing human embryos in a human or animal uterus in order to provide such tissue.
Cardinal Keeler noted that most animal studies cited in support of so-called therapeutic cloning have required placing cloned animal embryos in a womb and growing them to the fetal stage to obtain usable stem cells. Some state laws, including one in New Jersey, could allow such “fetus farming” to harvest human body parts.
“Now is the time to enact a national policy against such grotesque abuse of women and children by approving S. 3504,” the Cardinal wrote.
There is Not One Single Article in Support Of Fetal Stem-Cell Research...........None, Nada, Zilch.

FROM YOUR LINK:
<<<In the instruction, the Vatican repeated that it fully supported research involving adult stem cells. But it said obtaining stem cells from a living embryo, even for the sake of effective therapies, was................ "gravely illicit."
It repeated its...... opposition........ to human cloning for both medical therapies and reproduction. Such techniques could result in an individual being subjected to a form of "biological slavery from which it would be difficult to free himself." >>>
Did You even read the article in full???
