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."
