Apparently people can actually adopt embryos! Couples using IVF have the women's eggs harvested, producing multiple embryos. If the treatment works,they often times have leftover embryos. These can either be destroyed, donated to stem cell research, be kept frozen, or be put up for adoption. I personally don't agree with IVF, because of the first two options. The embryo is alive and shouldn't be killed just because your other child worked first..
However, with this new option, IVF doesn't seem so bad. I mean, it sorta freaks me out, but I don't see the harm in it.
Once adopted, the embryo is placed into the adopting mother, so the mother can actually.. grow.. the baby and give birth to their child. This process isn't much different from IVF, only, the adopting mother only gets one chance to hold on to the baby, unless she adopts another embryo. However, it is a much cheaper option for couples face infertility problems.
Embyos are human lives. Therefore, I don't see anything wrong with adopting an embryo. IVF treatments may not be considered moral to the Catholic Church, but there is probably no way in preventing it from happening. This seems to be a perfect solution to the problem. Now all we must do is fight so that embryos can no longer be destroyed.
I feel like couples who want children badly enough to go through IVF would respect life. They spend so much money on having their child, why would they kill their other children?? And by giving up the embryos for adoption, they are helping another couple in the same circumstance as they were once in.
Also, with more research, maybe this can become an option for women considering abortion.
