In-Vitro Fertilization May Be Responsible for Killing Millions of Unborn Children

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- From Pewsitter.com: "In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) doesn't seem to be the panacea for birth for those wanting a baby. If this bursts your bubble, then maybe you"re uninformed. "In Vitro" specifically means in a test tube, or Petri dish. Typically a number of eggs are "harvested" from a woman, put in an artificial environment, fertilized by sperm, and then transferred back to the woman for gestation. Many say our action of creating life should be commended. Only problem is that we"re creating life from the deaths of multiple others. According to the Atlanta Center for Reproductive 170,000 fertilized human embryos created in 1999 alone, died in the process of attempting to conceive a child via in vitro fertilization. And, IVF is much more common today than in 1999. From the Department of Health, over 1 million embryonic children were killed in the UK in the past 14 years as "waste" embryos from IVF processes. The UK is only 20% of the US population."

"The View" Host Sheri Shepherd Wants "Nothing to Do With" Surrogate Unborn Baby After Marriage Folds

"The View" host Sheri Shepherd reportedly wants "nothing to do" with her unborn child now that her marriage has folded. Shepherd reportedly used IVF to conceive a child with her husband Lamar Sally but now is not interested in caring for the baby, who is being carried by a surrogate mother.

This story demonstrates one of the problems with in-vitro fertilization. The first problem for the pro-life movement is that the surrogate mother or the egg donor could decide they no longer want to carry the pregnancy to term and decide to terminate the unborn child's life in an abortion.

I fear for humanity. We are doing things we don't fully understand and one day we'll pay for it. Now, I'm not a reactionary who wants us to go back to pre-industrial days, although I was definitely born either 400 years or 2500 years too late, but I do think we need to really think about what we do and we probably need to test it better. Maybe we even need to vote on it as a species. If someone does something that could potentially develop a world killing bug or open a black hole where our planet is I'd like to at least get a vote.
