Thanks for the ping..
Something about the abortion debate has always troubled me. How many people who oppose abortion, or abortofacients also oppose in vitro fertilization.
As I understand it, with IVF, multiple eggs are fertilized, and the most viable egg is then selected for implantation. The remaining eggs are frozen, and typically wind up being destroyed.
I'm a Catholic, and I've read quotes from the church opposing the use of embryos that would otherwise have been destroyed in the process of in vitro fertilization for stem cell research, but have read no official position from the Catholic church, nor any major church on whether or not IVF is immoral in the same sense as the morning after pill, despite the fact that the end result is the destruction of multiple fertilized eggs.
