Dave DNA is there from the beginning but it is in every cell in your body and you don't consider each cell a person. Are you saying then that DNA should not be disturbed in any way? Should IVF be banned? -----Original Message----- From: mschild Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2012 4:49 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Lets talk about ESC Mania! > I respect your opinion on when a human being begins life.

You must know that during IVF, a few ova are fertilized and then frozen. When used, they inplant one fertilized ovum in the uterus. If it works, a baby is born 9 months later. What happens to the frozen fertilized ´embryos´? If the couple does not want any more children, those ´embryos´ are destroyed. If not destroyed, they can be used to produce a line of stem cells that could finally contribute to a cure or at least a treatment for some disease. You prefer those embryos to be destroyed? your choice but some people prefer to use them to help sick people. I prefer hope to and end in a bin maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
