    Thank you for posting this. I certainly don't want any more pepsi if they are going to stop using aborted fetal cells.

    Even if true, so what? Aborted fetal cells....big deal. I have no problem with finding some use for them.

    What's next? Oscar Mayer will quit using chicken beaks and pig penis in hot dogs?

    First they took my lime skittles...

    if anything this makes me excited that soda may taste even better soon.


    why would research stop anyone from drinking soda?

    I haven't drank Pepsi in a while anyways, too sweet for my taste. Regardless, even if I did drink it, I can't say this news would stop me. It certainly won't stop me from drinking coke. In the whole scheme of things, concern about soda flavor research methods is probably pretty low on most people's priority list. Besides, I'm pretty sure the cells were not taken specifically for the purpose of soda flavor research. If Senomyx is using those cells for other purposes anyways, well, why let anything go to waste?

    They can't ban this, cannibals have a right to an ice cold beverage with a little human flavoring, there is no reason to discriminate.

    Cannibal-Americans have rights, too.

    i agree too. although id rather those cells go to more important medical research at least some use is coming from them.

    Why stop there? We bury tons of dead bodies every day, what a waste. If you guys will eat human fetuses, why not tasty cadaver byproducts? Maybe restaurants could present them like they do live lobsters, you could pick which body you want from a showcase and they could take it in the back and use it to flavor you food - and to think, they put Dahmer in prison for doing little more than trying to make his own food seasoning.

    I dunno, but Snopes said it was false.

    what do you think is the best way to prepare human?

    Trying to be funny, or trying to be offensive. Whatever. I firmly believe in using aborted fetuses and stem cells in medical research...why not use discarded parts to further medical knowledge? .

    As a former fetus, I'm glad that I wasn't discarded and used to flavor soft drinks or further medical knowledge. If you took a poll, I bet 100% of fetuses would have the same preference, as fulfilling as providing flavor to a Pepsi may be.

    dont knock it til you try it.

    who knows...maybe getting used as a soda flavoring is the best way to get positive karma? and you reap the rewards when you get reincarnated.

    If you were discarded and used for research, then you wouldn't be here to complain about it. Your opinion is biased.

    I, for one, welcome our new fetal overlords.

    WTH? Okay I am no scientist but why do you need fetal cells for flavor enhancers?!?!? It is just like the movie I saw last year with Charlton Heston Soilet Green (sp)!!!

    Lack of fetal complaints cannot be interpreted as consent. I imagine that the rate of fetal suicide is quite low, so it is implied that they would prefer a future that entails being delivered as a baby rather than becoming a food additive or chilling out in a Petri dish

    This is all hypothetical given Snopes has shown report to be false anyway.

    However I have no issue with cadaver cells or aborted foetal cells being used for medical research purposes.(issues with abortion itself are a separate issue)

    Comparisons to cannibalism are just stupid.
