Headed toward a generational fuster cluck unless records are unsealed.
There will be first cousin and sibling unions galore.
Yeah, not "conceived" - "created!"
"Igor! It's alive! It's ALIVE! Itsaliveitsaliveitsalive! Ha-hah-hah! Finally, I know what's it's like to be a GOD!"
Well, at least they acknowledge that, upon fertilization, they are then babies. A shame that only 25% of the babies survive the thawing process, though.
Regards,
“Children born after being frozen as an embryo have a 30% higher risk of genetic abnormalities...”
And the longer stored I would guess the higher the risk.
“This makes the one-month-old baby almost the same age as her new parents.”
Age is counted from birthday, not conception day.
Simply WRONG. ALL of it.
On a related topic, I have often pondered whether babies who have been aborted could have another chance at life and be lucky enough to be born into families just so they could be held lovingly in a mother’s arms.
| In 2008, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in its instruction Dignitas Personae had settled whether frozen embryos could be adopted. In this document, the Church’s condemnation of IVF, along with other artificial means of conception, was resolutely affirmed. Frozen embryo adoption, the Vatican explained, is problematic because of the ethically impermissible use of surrogacy, rather than because of the creation of embryos in an unnatural fashion, since the embryos in question have already been created. “All things considered, it needs to be recognized that the thousands of abandoned embryos represent a situation of injustice which in fact cannot be resolved,” the document concluded. |
So the baby who grows up to be a woman will wonder who she really is for the rest of her life.
How unfair to her.
Frozen embryo adoption seems a perfectly sensible solution to the problem to me. Better than discarding them or donating them to science.
There used to be an organization called “Snowflakes” I think that arranged frozen embryo adoptions.
Hope the child’s favorite song is not “Your cold, cold, heart”.

Anyway...
Fascinating subject. Frankly I only understand some sci-fi aspect: that embryos can be transported for long periods to reach other , non-Earth, locations.
However, it is a bald fact that species that don’t reproduce don’t survive.
She will be old enough to run for President in 2024! ;-)

Brrrrr!
When she grows up, will she be a frozen food salesperson? 😀 Oh will live in an igloo? 😀
In Ralph Northam’s Virginia the children could be thawed, birthed and then aborted.
DONT BE NEGATIVE ABOUT EMBRYO DONATION if you’re pro life. This article has a terrible slant.
My daughter is from donated embryo. She would have been destroyed if the couple who had extra embryos after their family was complete through ivf didn’t decide to give up these embryos for donation.
About 50% (and I’m being generous here) of frozen embryos unwanted in labs are healthy enough (euploid) to become a fetus. Do they not deserve a chance at life? Many couples want to have children and would like to be able to choose care of their baby from early pregnancy on.
It’s an idea way to save lives and grow your family. It’s not expensive and it’s very straightforward and simple. Prepare a good uterine lining, thaw and implant the embryos in the hopeful mama, and done. The legal contracts happen before the doctor places the embryo so that the original “owners” have no parenting rights at all forever.
This is a very good thing. A beautiful thing if you want to save unborn lives. Don’t let this article sway you away from how great it is that families want to let these embryos have their right of birth.
So,in five years she can run for President.🤔
Can she qualify for social security 27 years early?
