              Just Because We Can, Does It Mean We Should?

Should we donate frozen embryos left over from in vitro fertilization to science?

In vitro is the process of collecting eggs from a donor and fertilizing them with sperm. During this process extra eggs are left over which will be discarded.

With all the research they’re actually discovering that embryos is probably better to use frozen than fresh, which are non-frozen embryos.

I believe since life was given in the vitro fertilization process the extra embryos can be used for science. I do think they should be used for humans, but the extra ones should be used for science for lots of different reasons.

The embryo might have a cure, or do something important. The embryo is already frozen and if were used for something else like for someone to have a baby, it will probably won’t grow or develop, that is what I think of it, even though it’s not true. All though, if it is cold, then you will think it will be warm. I think it will not grow or even form in baby in those cases.

The embryo is freezing cold which might affect development of the embryo. So that is why it should be used for science, because scientists do lot’s of research and I am sure these embryos will be beneficial to them, and maybe these embryos will actually be really important if there is lots of research.
