But are you sure “*most* IVFers choose to destroy leftover embryos?”

It’s my understanding, that in the U.S. at least, last I read anyway, the vast majority of IVFers are choosing to do NOTHING AT ALL with all those frozen embryos.

They are torn and indecisive. Many of them pay increasing storage fees every year (the clinics hope that increasing fees exponentially will push them into making a decision about them) but nevertheless keep them frozen rather than destroy them.

Not that that’s much better, but theoretically they could all be chosen to be donated to other infertile couples or placed for adoption.

It is individual sin that’s the problem here, not a problem with IVF per se.

So, I’m seriously asking here and not looking to debate on this, do you have a reference to that?

If I had a uterus, I’d take one!

Perpetual wrongful imprisonment. How Soviet....
