"Leftover Embryos"--Frozen Orphanages
I subsrcribe to a a new publication called THINK magazine. It is aimed at causing Christians to think seriously about difficult issues facing society, from debt to education to stem cell research.
The article that caused me to think all weekend was about invitrofertilzation. I was aware of the process and the fact that viable embryos that were not implanted were being "stored" in a frozen state. I was not aware that over 400,000 embryonic children are now being housed in frozen orphanages (labratories) in the U. S.
The alternatives available to couples who have completed their families and now do not need the leftover embryos; and do not want to go on paying for housing them in a frozen state, are three. They can donate them to science for research, which means they are destroyed--killed in my opinion. Or they can simply be thawed out, letting them die, and discarding them. The third is that they can donate them to be adopted by couples who cannot conceive. They could be implanted and born into a loving family that desperately longs to have children.
Perhaps the best known of such agencies is Snowflake, because President Bush had over twenty snowflake children at the White House during a discussion on Stem Cell Research. (for more info go to www.nightlight.org/snowflakes_description.asp).
If those 400,000 children were already born and in orphanages, would we let science experiment on them or just let them die? I doubt snowflake type adoptions can eliminate the problem of leftover embryonic children completely, but it could make a lot of difference. |
