I was talking with my sister a few weeks ago regarding a mutual friend who has been considered IVF. She asked my opinion and I told her, I couldn't consider it because it essentially amounts to choosing which baby lives and which ones don't. My sister -- no kidding -- had no idea how the process worked. She had no idea that embryos were basically thrown in the trash. She's 40 yrs old, for pete's sake, and did not understand this!
Coleus, thanks for the post. Ignore the nasty comments. It's sad to see so many FReepers are content to tell themselves that farming human beings (for fun or profit) is the equivalent of "cancer treatment."
There are embryo adoption agencies where you can donate the additional eggs so that others can use them. That way you don't throw any out.
I think that sums up the IVF procedure quite well.
