Celine Dion Orders Second Child, on Ice (this is about as creepy as it gets...)

Celine Dion Orders Second Child, on Ice

PARIS, October 26, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Celine Dion, 37, told a French magazine that she plans to have her second child in 2007 after her three-year, $100-million contract with Caesar’s Palace Casino in Las Vegas ends. The child, the product of in-vitro fertilization, already exists and is on ice at a fertility clinic in New York City.

“I’m approaching 40 years old, and I have to tend to that,” she told Tele 7 Jours. Another child conceived at the same time was born in 2001. “This frozen embryo that is in New York is my child waiting to be brought to life.”

Although acknowledging that the embryo already conceived by IVF is indeed a child, Dion does not appear to have given recognition to or understood the humanity of the other children that were likely sacrificed during the procedure. IVF most often results in the death of many conceived embryos before one successful pregnancy is maintained. IVF involves the creation of human embryos outside the womb and the implantation of several of these already created tiny humans in the womb of the mother.

Three new studies have shown that on average 42% of ova generated for IVF carry some genetic abnormalities that would prevent a child created from them being brought to term.

Most men can produce sperm till they die. Maybe there's something medically wrong with him.

Believe this child-on-ice is an identical twin. I know a family who has done this and the two children (one boy, one girl) look identical.

As I remember it cloned animals have show a tendency to age and die when their DNA is old. I wonder if there has been a similar study of in vitro births after the embryo was stored some length of time? I wonder if there is a large enough sample to see if life-expectancy is from when the DNA was formed or from birth?

She treats her children like frozen dinners! When she want's something, she takes it out of the freezer & puts it in the oven.

Somehow this makes me think of a character in the William Gibson science fiction novel "Count Zero". Cancer has made his cells run riot -- he's alive, but is maintained in a vat the size of a 18-wheeler. He interacts with the world as a computer simulation in cyberspace. Senor Virek is very rich ... and the rich are very different.

It says 42% of IVF babies have genetic abnormalities that prevent them from coming to term?

Does anyone know:

1. What percentage of traditionally-conceived babies have genetic abnormalities that prevent them from coming to term?

2. Is the 42% number the result of IVF or the result of whatever problem is preventing pregnancy the old fashioned way?

Just guessing, but based on the number of spontaneous miscarriages (almost a third to a half at extremely early stages --- as in, before implantation), I bet IVF has little to do with the issue.

But I really do not know. Does anyone here?

OK, I'll try again. The couple took the eggs from the mother and the children, born two years apart, look like identical twins. Maybe if I understood it completely (I don't) I could nail it down better...:(

And many pregnancies conceived the natural way lead to miscarriages. If IVF is immoral because it may lead the the creation of nonviable embryos then the only solution I can see is to prevent all pregnancies.
