They also reportedly will disallow payments to embryo donors and will preclude donors from specifying who should receive their embryo's stem cells. Those provisions aim to discourage the creation of a market in embryo cells and block any incentive for a woman to create fresh embryos just to provide a potential treatment for a sick relative. just me, Marjorie
