Greg has offered a clear explanation of how all those surplus embryos come about. Everybody ought to know by now what has routinely happened to them in the past and what will happen to them in the future as a result of being created for purposes of reproduction - the dust bin + many simply fail to implant. Why do opponents of ESCR not call for IVF clinics to be shut down? Or is it OK because the original INTENT was reproduction? Some countries like Italy are attempting to limit the number of blastocysts that can be created at one time. BUT THE HYPROCRISY STILL REMAINS, DOESN'T IT?
