The issue began in 2011 when the non-profit group Children of God for Life (CGL) first broke the news about Pepsi's alliance with Senomyx, which led to massive outcry and a worldwide boycott of Pepsi products. At that time, it was revealed that Pepsi had many other options at its disposal to produce flavor chemicals, which is what its competitors do, but had instead chosen to continue using aborted fetal cells -- or as Senomyx deceptively puts it, "isolated human taste receptors" (http://www.naturalnews.com).
A few months later, Pepsi' shareholders filed a resolution petitioning the company to "adopt a corporate policy that recognizes human rights and employs ethical standards which do not involve using the remains of aborted human beings in both private and collaborative research and development agreements." But the Obama Administration shut down this 36-page proposal, deciding instead that Pepsi's used of aborted babies to flavor its beverage products is just business as usual, and not a significant concern.

I think I just switched to Coke, hoping they're not participating...
That's just gross.
this is just hard to believe. although i don't drink sodas of any kind (just water); it's just disgusting.
from a business standpoint, don't they realize how this is perceived?
It is just deplorable the things that are allowed in our food and drink. Everyone needs to be on the look out for more corporate lies and hidden policies. Soylent Green is on the horizon.
