Almost 2.5 Million Human Embryos Destroyed during IVF in Britain since 1990

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has released the latest total figures:

Almost 2.5 million embryos have been deliberately destroyed in the United Kingdom since 1990.

According to statistics from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, since the passing of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act in 1990, 2,315,262 human embryos were deliberately discarded during IVF treatment.

In a parliamentary question to the Department of Health, Lord Alton of Liverpool asked: “How many human embryos were deliberately destroyed in the last 12 months for which figures are available? How many human embryos were transferred to uteri in order to establish pregnancies? And what are the cumulative figures for both circumstances since such procedures were made legal?”

In his official answer, Lord Prior of Brampton confirmed that between 1 July 2014 and 30 June 2015, 84,044 embryos were transferred to uteri and 172,184 were discarded.

He also revealed that since August 1 1991, that a total of 1,687,260 embryos were transferred and 2,315,262 human embryos were deliberately destroyed.

Last year, the Department of Health said that the total number of embryos which have been allowed to perish since 1990 stood at 2,053,656.

The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

No wonder the UK is deteriorating. Such utter diregard for innocent life.

Pray for revival.

A friend has an intriguing theory. That DNA is something that affects reality on a quantum physics level. And that every new unique genome that comes into existence establishes a pattern that extends into realms we have only hypothesized about.

It's another way of saying that the act of conception brings about the creation of a soul.

If that is so, two and a half million humans poured down a laboratory sink is going to have ramifications, whether we are aware of them or not.

For context 2.5 million is 1 out of 40 brits.

Wow. 2.5 million humans discarded like garbage. This is how people treat God’s gift of life. What a wicked, ignorant society. May God have undeserved mercy our selves. May we have the sense to repent from this evil.

The only consolation I can find is that all those millions of souls are already in Heaven. It is not much, but it is true. We who have not been called home yet must continue to speak for those who cannot.

This is just below the title of “IVF process”.

As a default, they destroy embryos. Without that clause, it’s Octomom for anyone who wishes to try.

The whole thing is a touchy subject. Go with God.
