Jennifer, you said, "I believe that if a child is conceived that we do not have the right to extinguish it no matter how it was conceived or who it would help." I find that an admirable thought, but that is not the issue. It is a choice as foillows: A woman uses her eggs for conceiving a desired baby in a test tube. The surplus eggs canot be donated to another woman. So they either incinerate her excess egg or with her permission use the eggs as a source for pluripotent stem cells. These stem cells are not capable of growing into a life form. But research shows that they seemm to be capable of growinginto repair parts. There are only two choices: Incinerate the surplus eggs or use the stem cells within for research to cure many miseries of mankind. Neither choice is easy, but what choice would you make ?
