DISCLAIMER: This is an opinion piece by Christian Hacking The ethical vaccine debate On Wednesday this week Emeritus paediatric professor at UCL- John Wyatt debated David Brennan from Brephos (the Greek word for child, in and outside of the womb) on whether Christians should accept vaccines that use fetal tissue cell lines in their production. The debate was a friendly affair between brothers, with plenty of agreement around the facts, and a charming moment at the end where each of the debaters introduced the others' website. This said, the debate did clarify a fundamental difference between the two men's ethical approach to the vaccines and the Scriptures. Continue reading

The debate around the morality of fetal tissue vaccines frequently both contains and hinges upon faulty assumptions — thus, whichever side you stand on, it's worth considering the most common ones.

Updated 7 June 2021 - contribution by Christian Hacking ORGAN HARVESTING TODAY Johanna’s story is not an isolated case. SWEDEN, 1962 Ellie* was just three months old** when her mother chose to take her to a clinic in 1962 to have her put to death by medical professionals. Both Ellie and her mother were healthy. Ellie’s mother knew they were going to kill her baby, but she had no inkling as to what they would do next. Instead of incinerating, burying, or throwing her little body away, they wrapped it in sterile green cloth and sent it to the Karolinska Institute in northwest Stockholm to be dissected and harvested for medical research. Neither Ellie nor her mother gave consent for her organs to be harvested in this way. Ellie didn’t consent to be killed either. Her lung was sent to the USA and used to create the cell line WI-38. She was the 32nd baby they used. Continue reading

As a German school girl in the 1990s, I was faced with a very rough awakening when I learned about the Nazi holocaust and the fact that it originated from what I subconsciously perceived as a “peaceful, safe and just” homeland. The photographs, films and written records of the cruel, evil acts committed against millions of people have never stopped haunting me.  Continue reading

A recent Tweet from the Secretary of State for Health, Matthew Hancock, declared that “hope” would soon be injected into millions of arms all over the UK. He was talking, of course, about COVID-19 vaccines. But what actually is it that they propose to inject into your arm? Continue reading

This has been one of the biggest discussions on my social media news feed in the last month. I get it. Why go to a Cancer Research Race for Life shouting, “what about people with diabetes? Don’t they matter?” It’s stupid. Others explain, "of course ALL lives matter, but ALL lives can't matter until BLACK lives matter". Continue reading
