Calling all pro-lifers! We must stop this madness!
You now whats frightening also?
This freezing procedure, what if someone gets the idea to donate those, not to mention what it says about the process, some are lost in the freezing process.
"METHOD OF EMBRYO FREEZING
When both animal and vegetable cells are simply frozen, their cell structure is destroyed by the formation of ice crystals. To freeze embryos (and sperm) we add a protective chemical know as a "cryoprotectant" to them which draws the water out of them so that ice crystals do not form in them when they are frozen. It is still not unusual for an embryo to lose one or more of its cells during the freeze/thaw process. This does not significantly reduce the potential of the embryo to produce a pregnancy unless more than half of its cells are lost. The loss of some cells also does not cause any increased risk of fetal abnormalities.
WHY ALL EXCESS EMBRYOS ARE NOT FROZEN
We have been freezing embryos for over fifteen years now, with steady improvement in the freezing techniques. One clear fact has emerged from this experience - poor quality embryos do not survive the freeze-thaw process. Embryos which have even sized cells within them and little fragmentation have a good chance of surviving being frozen. Embryos whose cells are uneven in size and which contain large numbers of fragments have a poor chance of surviving freezing."
This is all getting out of hand, stop messing with the UNBORN!!
Thanks.
I'm listening to you now on the radio on 970DJ

and don't forget to mention the pro-life, anti-specter rally in NYC on Monday!

Renewed push for NJ Clone & Kill Bill, A2840/S1909. Immediate Action Needed!!!
Advanced Cell Technologies, Woucester, MA is already involved heavily in conceiving human embryos for experimentation and stem cell extraction. Also, they have begun the cloning process and are working on a steady supply of ova from 'donating' females (paid for their ova, to be used in conceptions for experimental embryos). Massatwosh!ts is so liberal, they won't need to pass legislation to protect this cannibalism.
Mel is already funding a 'stop Prop 71' effort. Mel is pro-life and very against taxpayer monies being used to fund the cannibalism on embryos.
It seems the height of arrogance and stupidity that someone whose father was a Nazi would take the absurd move of approving government funding to slaughter an entire class of human beings. Totally bizarre. And macabre.
Ahnold, in typical moderate/liberal style, doesn't believe the pre-born, in any age of their lifetimes, are human beings yet.
Ditto.
Exactly right....venture capitalists won't invest in it because it doesn't work.
Hence, the hysteria for government funding...whose pockets are being lined?
