As law, an embryo created from IVF or within a woman’s body has been turned over the the woman or couple or other who has paid for the treatment or become pregnant with the human life. What they do with that life whether abort or freeze or donate or give birth to is by law their choice. We have not had to use federal funds for abortion or IVF treatment and we are not involved with the decision to freeze, destroy, or donate the embryos.
Do we need an “outcry” meter to think whether something is right or wrong? Saying that people are against something just because someone is for something is disingenuous. I understand perfectly what we are talking about. We are talking about a human life. We are talking about using federal funds to pay for scientific experiments that destroy that human life. I also understand that it will not be enough, there will have to be cloning in order to grow human tissue that is not rejected. I understand that fresh eggs will be needed and they will have to be taken from woman. I understand the procedure is dangerous and young women who are not ready to make that important decision will be coerced into giving. I understand that science and scientists can be as corrupt as anyone else and as greedy as anyone else. I understand that when “may” and “might” are said many hear “will”. I understand that using the words like “a deeper and better understanding” and “therapeutic” are meant to soothe and cajole.
I understand that we will create HUMAN LIFE in order to destroy it.
P.S. We are all going end up not necessarily in a trash can but in the ground, a crypt, a jar on the mantelpiece, or dust on someone’s television set. The trash can argument goes nowhere and is only used to make someone feel better about their decision.
