Campaign for Ethical Research
Join the Campaign for Ethical Biomedical Research and Manufacturing and help end the use of aborted children in research and commerce. Take a stand!
Our Mission & Vision
Children of God for Life works to end the use of aborted children in research.
We educate the public about the use of aborted children in biomedical research and commerce and take action to end these practices in governments, universities, and industries.
- We distributed hundreds of thousands of free brochures on Vaccines From Abortion, Stem Cell Research, and Human Cloning across the United States and to over two dozen foreign countries.
- We successfully fought for and obtained an ethical smallpox vaccine.
- Our Campaign for Ethical Vaccines has over 600,000 supporters nationwide, and we continue to pressure the pharmaceutical industry and government to provide morally acceptable products.
- We are fighting to protect the religious rights of parents, physicians, pharmacists, missionaries, and our military heroes who wish to abstain from using aborted fetal vaccines.
- We have introduced legislation that would require all pharmaceutical companies to fairly label their products and give informed consent to all consumers, medical and science professionals.
We rely on contributions from the public in order to continue our work.
