So would you be OK with testing sperm and eggs prior to conception?

No, anything out of the sacrament of marriage is against God's moral and natural law. Taking God out of the conjugal act in the sacrament of marriage is sinful.

Would you be opposed to other people testing their sperm and eggs? There seems to be a split among those who find destruction of human blastospheres to be immoral on this question.

While destruction of an embryo may equate to murder and therefore not be right for ANYONE...would you allow that if your Jewish neighbor wanted to test his sperm, that it is his business and not yours?

you are trying to make morality relative to your own personal beliefs. You must have forgotten but you asked me my opinion and I gave it. If you don't fear the Lord and you think like the liberals that the 10 Commandments and the Constitution are living documents, then so be it. The morality was etched in stone by God. It doesn't change because we modernized.

If you want the opinion from a Jewish person then I suggest you go and ask one, there are many on the FR, and if you do, you make get different answers since there are many branches of Judaism including but not limited to: reformed, conservative and orthodox.

If you think that masturbating in a cup, centrifuging the sperm then mixing it in a petri dish with eggs, creating a bunch of embryos/babies, testing them for defects, choose the healthy ONE and discarding the 1/2 dozen or so siblings/babies is moral and OK, then so be it... that's your morality, I can't change the way you think.

From the 3rd paragraph:

...That was the reason they selected her, from among the "other embryos" they had conceived through "elective" in vitro fertilization, to implant in her mother’s uterus....

I'm sure glad I wasn't an elective and was born. And what about the others? Frozen for life? Discarded, thrown away like trash? Yep, that sure sounds moral.... as I said, if that's your morality, so be it.
