There must be a difference between a foetus in a womb and an abandoned dish with a small blob of cells in it. My sister-in-law, who's just turned 50, has two IVF-created sons (my lovely nephews), she'll never now use the remaining embryos (even if younger, 2 kids was all she intended). No-one has ever asked her wha about the surplus (she didn't know there was a surplus). Couldn't IVF atttendees simply be asked if they're willing to donate the surplus, like with organ donor cards ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
