How does someone weigh the right of people to ensure their genetic viability into the future, vs. the right of a fertilized egg? I’m curious.

Perhaps you can explain that to me because it sounds like eugenics.

When did man alone become the author of life vs. a persons desire to have a “natural child” via in vitro? What ever happened to adopting if infertile and raising that child as your own? In vitro can be looked at as just as selfish as abortion if you think about what it says. Whether a person chooses to end a pregnancy via abortion because they don’t want that life or going to a lab and forcing life to be manipulated in a test tube and injected are both “me” thinking. We feel we are entitled to have “our own” child or abort “our own” child. Both are a symptom of our own selfishness.

No one has a right to “genetic viability”.

Given your reasoning IVF will be become an government entitlement for any an all who demand it.

Fertilized eggs are people too.
