From Associated Press
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Tens of thousands of embryos are stuck in limbo in fertility clinics, leftovers from pregnancy attempts and broken dreams of parenthood.
Some are outright abandoned by people who quit paying storage fees and can’t be found. In other cases, couples are struggling with tough decisions.
Jenny Sammis can’t bring herself to donate nearly a dozen of her extras to research. She and her husband agreed to do that when they made their embryos 15 years ago, but her feelings changed after using some of them to have children.
“I have these two gorgeous, smart people who came from this process,” Sammis said. “These embryos are all like seeds that could become potential people. That reality to me was all abstract when they were in the freezer.”
COMMENT:-
And what are the "Right To Life" people doing about those tens of thousands of children that will be callously tossed in the trashheap because their (probably sexually deviant) so-called "parents" aren't paying for their upkeep (the "Baby KILLERS obviously don't care)?
Absolutely nothing whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!
For shame - SHAME I say.
