I am someone who knows what I am
talking about. I managed a OB-Gyn
Doctor's office that specialized in
difficult and high risk
pregnancies. My step- daughter
along with several friends just
this year had "Designer" babies.
The technology is already there, it
is just very, very expensive. My
objective for the debate was to
think through the morality of the
IVF. Are we helping God or
interferring with his plan? It is
a difficult ethical question.
Women, desperate to get pregnant
will do anything and go through
long and painful procedures. The
fertilized and developing fetuses
are frozen and kept as long as the
couple pays to keep them frozen.
When the couple has successfully
had all the children they desire,
the embryos have several potential
futures. They can be given to
another couple who don't have eggs
or sperm, they can be given over
for medical research or they can be
thrown away. Which is the most
moral or ethical option?
