Celine Dion Orders Second Child, on Ice
PARIS, October 26, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) Celine Dion, 37, told a French magazine that she plans to have her second child in 2007 after her three-year, $100-million contract with Caesars Palace Casino in Las Vegas ends. The child, the product of in-vitro fertilization, already exists and is on ice at a fertility clinic in New York City.
Im approaching 40 years old, and I have to tend to that, she told Tele 7 Jours. Another child conceived at the same time was born in 2001. This frozen embryo that is in New York is my child waiting to be brought to life.
Although acknowledging that the embryo already conceived by IVF is indeed a child, Dion does not appear to have given recognition to or understood the humanity of the other children that were likely sacrificed during the procedure. IVF most often results in the death of many conceived embryos before one successful pregnancy is maintained. IVF involves the creation of human embryos outside the womb and the implantation of several of these already created tiny humans in the womb of the mother.
Three new studies have shown that on average 42% of ova generated for IVF carry some genetic abnormalities that would prevent a child created from them being brought to term.

As I remember it cloned animals have show a tendency to age and die when their DNA is old. I wonder if there has been a similar study of in vitro births after the embryo was stored some length of time? I wonder if there is a large enough sample to see if life-expectancy is from when the DNA was formed or from birth?
LOL!
Anybody see the internet pics of Britney's baby?
He's older than dirt and sick too.
What you post makes no sense.
Come on, Celine. Let me touch those things just this once... ;-)
He can no longer achieve a Di on.
Somehow this makes me think of a character in the William Gibson science fiction novel "Count Zero". Cancer has made his cells run riot -- he's alive, but is maintained in a vat the size of a 18-wheeler. He interacts with the world as a computer simulation in cyberspace. Senor Virek is very rich ... and the rich are very different.
Its an X-file
Do you have that on authority? 8^D
-rimshot!-
Not quite, Celine/Psycho. The child is already alive, you stinking Quebecoise nutjob.
Goodfriggingrief.
It says 42% of IVF babies have genetic abnormalities that prevent them from coming to term?
Does anyone know:
1. What percentage of traditionally-conceived babies have genetic abnormalities that prevent them from coming to term?
2. Is the 42% number the result of IVF or the result of whatever problem is preventing pregnancy the old fashioned way?
Just guessing, but based on the number of spontaneous miscarriages (almost a third to a half at extremely early stages --- as in, before implantation), I bet IVF has little to do with the issue.
But I really do not know. Does anyone here?
WOW!!! I can't do that with either of my hands. What a talent! ;^)
OK, I'll try again. The couple took the eggs from the mother and the children, born two years apart, look like identical twins. Maybe if I understood it completely (I don't) I could nail it down better...:(
