Perhaps the most idiotic active thread going.

This is at BEST a philosophical exercise - if you are a 10 cell blastocyst, do you feel pain?

If you live forever cryogenically, does your soul ever get to go to Heaven?

Does God’s Will extend to those born from IVF? Are they yet too fearfully and wonderfully made? Are they known from before they were in the womb?

Bottom line - put your other blastocysts up for adoption. Believe me, there will be takers.

As for my son, born from IVF, I better break the news to him that he’s an abomination before God. I’m going to miss him.

The original experimental endocrinologist was God. Abraham and Sarah had Isaac when Sarah was very, very old. John the Baptist was born of Elizabeth, who was barren. Dad was struck mute when he questioned God about the matter.

Jesus was born from Mary, for Heaven’s sake (actually, for our sake).

Then gentiles are basically ADOPTED. The Jews are God’s Chosen People. The rest were adopted through Christ.

If you produce blastocysts for research purposes, I’ll wager you’ll have to answer for that. For the rest of us that actually went in with a plan, I think we’ll be OK.

As for those families that will adopt an embryo, have it not take, and be broken-hearted about it. Well, words fail as to the utter stupidity of considering that a negative. Having lived it, the OPPORTUNITY is a miracle. If you have a child from that opportunity, then it is miracle upon miracle.

If you are called to parenthood, much the same way that you are called to Holy Orders, then you pray as if it were up to God, and you work as if it were up to you.

After all, the prayer asks, “Thy will be done on Earth as in Heaven.” God could have said, “No.”
