Very sad. At my adoption agency we had a prospective adoptive couple that “adopted” embryos for implantation. This is happening more and more all over the country.

It has to have something to do with child support.

Play God, then ask the judge to play God, then have the storage lab play God. Leave it to God next time, He knows what He is doing.

The judge is upholding the agreement they signed with the clinic.

Each of these embryos is a unique human being, created in God’s image.

That is what is being discarded.

IVF should be banned by law. It is intrinsically dehumanizing.

These kinds of cases are going to proliferate in the future. The moral stench is unbearbale.
