Jo Ann from Houston No, they do not; but there are some (perhaps many) people who would initiate a pregnancy and then abort it to get the stem cells (without the "liability" of another child). Also, in the above-cited case, what about the other embryos, which were "discarded" in an effort to find the one with the proper genetic makeup? I think that the whole thing is a bit too scary.
