I'm not opposed to what Aleta St James did because of the money, but rather because it seemed enormously selfish. IVF creates many more embryoes than are actually implanted and survive. That means that several other children died in order for this woman to have her twins :( Also these children are not "hers" biologically. If Aleta had such a strong desire for children and didn't mind if they weren't her biological offspring, why not just adopt one or two of the millions of children in this world who need a loving home? I have no problem with adoption - I wish people would do it instead of IVF, which ends up creating many new lives only to snuff them out or donate them for "research" It is an incredibly selfish procedure.

Probably because she wanted to carry her own children and they ARE hers;whether you are willing to agree with that or not.

Some people don't see adopted children as really being "their own" and those people shouldn't adopt!

If the petri dish embryos are frozen,are they dead? Is a non-embedded embryo "alive"/a baby?

Old parents,of any sex,do these children a disservice,IMO.It's a selfish act and one which serves ONLY those adults.These people are far too old to raise children and yes,those children will suffer.
