Maybe it's fine if the source wasn't American
"HEK 293 cells were generated in 1973 by transfection of cultures of normal human embryonic kidney cells with sheared adenovirus 5 DNA in Alex van der Eb's laboratory in Leiden, the Netherlands. The cells were obtained from a single, apparently healthy, legally aborted fetus under Dutch law"

it really wouldn't.
It's possible to deny that willing the end involves willing the means thereto; but even if you don't, it's possible to think that some ϕ is wrong, but that it is permissible to benefit from it given that it can't be un-done, or as a way to reclaim something from the ashes. It's no more hypocritical than a pacifist taking advantage of RADAR.
Hypocrisy is the public disavowal of something endorsed privately. But as long as one can say sincerely that one would prefer not to have to rely on ϕ, even when one actually does, one is not a hypocrite.
