My wife and I did IVF at Walter Reed. She produced eight ova for our round of IVF. All eight were fertilized via intracytoplasmic injection. Four of the eight developed into blastocysts and were transferred to my wife's uterus. One implanted successfully. Who should be charged with the premeditated, mass murder of the other seven?
If all eight ova developed into blastocysts and the doctor only selected four to transfer, should my wife be forced to give birth to four more children because of your belief all eight blastocysts are individual humans with individual rights?
If the doctor selected all eight blastocyst and all eight implanted, should a woman be forced to give birth to all eight knowing that multiparity increases mortality? Or should the doctor reduce the number of embryos in utero to increase the chance of survival for the remaining embryos and the mother? Remember Nadya Sulemon? Did she do the morally right thing?
What should happen with the embryos not used during IVF? What should happen with the approximately 400,000 embryos stored in cryopreservation?
