Wow, you're really doing your darnedest to dance around giving your actual opinion.  You don't think I'm a criminal, but you think what I've done should be illegal.  Do you see the problem?  If these were actual humans and it was illegal to discard them, then I would definitely be a criminal deserving of jail.  It's okay.  You can say it.

Do you know how IVF works?  You have to create more embryos than you need, because they're not all going to be equally viable.  You implant the ones that have the highest chance of becoming a pregnancy.  So, not only would you have to force some woman to carry the extra embryos, those that would usually be discarded already have a high chance of becoming miscarriages.  If you believe embryos are human, there's no way to have an IVF process that wouldn't involve crimes against people.

I'm not sure why you think I'm dancing around giving my opinion. I feel I made myself very clear... twice. Yeah, I think what you did should be illegal. But while it isn't, I don't think people who did it "deserve" to go to jail for doing something that they neither have a personal ethical objection to, or is against the law. I don't know what else you want me to say.  

As for the second part, that's why I'm ethically opposed to IVF, as I said earlier. Unless it can be done in a way that gives each offspring the respect it deserves as a human being, I don't think it should be done at all.

You're against IVF, CL? That makes me sad. A good friend of mine and her husband are DESPERATE to start a family. She's had several embryo transfers without success. It breaks my heart, because she wants to be a mother so badly. For some women, IVF is the only path to motherhood they may ever have. [emoji853]
