Late Entry

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:40 AM A child born 13 years after his dad’s sperm met his mom’s ovum. Thanks to the magic of embryo cryogenic and in-vitro fertilization.   Quote: An estimated half a million frozen embryos, almost all of them left over from in vitro treatment, are being kept in the US alone. The previous record for a successfully implanted embryo was 12 years.   Doctors recently coined the term "the embryo dilemma" to express the difficulty many parents of embryos have when it comes to giving instructions for them to be thawed and, in effect, disposed of.   So, it’s up to humanity now: This baby is human. So, any embryo can become human in the end. Embryo disposal, in the end, is killing potential humans.   | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | |
