Even when a child often does result from an IVF procedure, the travesty of having to create, freeze or destroy so many of that baby's brothers and sisters is morally reprehensible.

And what is the natural method in which a woman's body disposes unused human eggs?

Nevermind...I already know.

Do you?

What are "unused human eggs" Oh, you mean the unfertilized ones? They aren't babies are they?

"Why is the fertilization procedure in itself immoral? Doctors "create" multiple embryos at one time in order to increase the chances of success of implantation. Normally dozens of embryos are created and never used. These littlest human beings are then frozen or destroyed. The success rate of the in vitro process is abysmally low: only 4 percent of all the embryos created ever see the light of day as a newborn baby."

This is the whole objection to the procedure. Notice they say embryos not unfertilized eggs, fertilizing eggs and hence making a new human with an unique soul only to be tossed away is simply abortion without the womb.

The natural demise of a human being (I’m speaking here of a living human embryo) is not morally equivalent to the deliberate killing of an equivalent human being. But surely you knew that.

Eggs and embryos are not the same thing.

[Arthur McGowan]

So you’re saying you don’t know the difference between an unfertilized ovum and an embryo? In which case, I just hope you don’t hold a job on which your illiteracy endangers the lives of others.

Yes, unfertilized ova AND embryos die every day, of natural causes. The the fact that thousands of people of every age die every day of “natural causes” doesn’t mean that human beings are authorized to kill each other.
