Agreed, so long as they are donated not 'acquired', there've been cases where body parts got abstracted for research. Does aanyone on this list actually have any related embryos in store ? My sister-in-law (whose mother had PD) agrees in theory but can't bring herself to donate in practice,though the remaining embryos won't be used for kids - I've two wonderful IVF-originated, football-crazed nephews. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
