  • A flawed argument that is based on values not everyone shares.

  • While it would still lie outside the teachings of the CCC, it seems if only two embryos are created (can the extra eggs and sperm be frozen or is there a need to use those immediately?), and both are implanted, then this would be protecting the embryo's from scientific decisions if they should live, be discarded, or frozen. Is this feasible? Is it necessary to harvest so many eggs, and necessary to initially create so many embryos?

  • I follow the reasoning of the church to protect the embryos. We know the embryo is a human, not when it is ensouled--it maybe at fertilization it maybe after. It does seem wrong for Embryologist to create 5-10, decide which are transferred, which are discarded because they don't make it to blastula as quickly, and which are frozen. It was interesting he mentioned in Italy every embryo created must be implanted.
