U.S. draws foreigners in search of human eggs -- Is this Ethical?

In my very Humble Opinion, Fertility Clinics that perform In-Vitro Fertilization procedures are nothing more than glorified abortion mills.  Children are created  in petri dishes and test tubes only to be implanted (3 or more at a time) in unknown territory and often times are passed and the others (siblings of those implanted) are put on ice where most likely their body parts are harvested for embryonic stem cell research.  

 

The catholic church can excommunicate people who undergo this procedure and those who are involved in the industry.

 

Whatever happened to adoption and God's will?

 

HOW MANY of her  very own Children did Actress Brooke Shields kill by undergoing 7 IVF Treatments?

"The catholic church can excommunicate people who undergo this procedure and those who are involved in the industry."

The Catholic Church is a sham! They can't even excommunicate Kerry, and that guy openly made a mockery of religion over the past several months!

On a side note, it would be rather interesting to see some Asian lady birth a blonde haired, blue eyed child.

And undergoing it for pay, ethicists say, edges the practice toward the commercialization of body parts. In the United States, it is illegal to receive money for other human tissue, such as kidneys or bone marrow.

I think this should be legal.

Liver and Kidney donations? I think someone just did that here in the USA in TN.

In China they just arrest you, throw you in jail and take the parts they need. It's a good business for them.

what happened to adoption indeed! from a woman's point of view, I don't see the appeal of this procedure since the child will not be "hers" biologically speaking. If she's OK with that, then why not adopt in the first place? Lord knows there are plenty of kids in Asia that need parents - interesting that Asian egg donors are still in such high demand.

With the $4,000 she received, Hsiung is taking a break from her demanding theater schedule.

-little aware of her future demanding judgment scheduled...

"A donor is someone who gives something without expecting anything in return."

BS BS BS BS BS... I'd love to know how many women would 'donate' eggs if they weren't offered $7000!

[ellery]

It's not just about a bio-connection -- it's also about carrying, birthing, nursing and raising a child from birth. That's not an option in international adoption. In addition, adoption in general is a very difficult, intrusive process in its own right. Don't get me wrong -- it's a beautiful thing. But it's hardly an easy choice.

[japaneseghost]

I understand that donating eggs, besides being very painful, can takes years off a woman's life.

>>>>what happened to adoption indeed! from a woman's point of view, I don't see the appeal of this procedure since the child will not be "hers" biologically speaking.

I can't help but be cynical about the intent here.

Ok, maybe some will want to have the child for their own.

But my thoughts keep going back to all the human trafficking.

American babies have a higher price tag in the market.

How many women are being sent here to have the eggs implemented to move the child into the human trafficking?

I suppose, on the upside, we're to be thankful that this particular Industry provides the President with the excess manufacture necessary for the humanitarian science experiments by which he neatly rendered moot the question of "human" experimentation on pre-implantation age lives.

What's wrong with me that I can't get past this utter horror which the "pro-life" leadership of the GOP has wrought?

There are two good things to remember when the word ethics pokes its head out of the media (presented here in NY Times bestseller fashion):

1. Ethics works great until you get to lifeboat ethics.
2. It's all lifeboat ethics.
