I wish people wouldn't be so judgmental & would at least try to educate themselves on the issue before saying such nonsense with those comments.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-15726953642730707542010-08-12T10:19:51.056-07:002010-08-12T10:19:51.056-07:00It is always a pleasure reading your articulate po...It is always a pleasure reading your articulate posts.

If we do not transfer these remaining embryos to me, then we definitely are going to donate them to a couple or couples who want them. We feel extremely blessed in this whole process and know God has a place for all these babies- whether they be with us or with other loving families. I thank God for the technology to do this, and I pray for those who are ignorant of the blessing this is.

They probably wouldn't have made it were the conceived naturally either. Its not fair to say that they would have otherwise. Who knows how many cycles a woman has that don't result in a baby because the embryo just plain did not survive.<br /><br />One thing I always say to people when they ask if IVF is trying to play the role of God is, if God didn't like it, He wouldn't let us do it. He provided us with science and knowledge so that we could use them. If he didn't want us to make babies this way, they simply would not make it in the petri dish. IVF wouldn't exist.<br /><br />Very well put!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387359193986785194noreply@blogger.com
