I’m sure the IVF kid down the street will be glad to hear that he shouldn’t exist.

Bet that kid down the street would be really glad to hear how many of his brothers and sisters gave up their lives for his right to exist too.

again, once life is created, no matter how it is created, life is precious. The question is not whether the invitro kids up the street are less valuable. It is going forward, is this something we should do, or not. I argue no, for the reasons I stated above.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

At some point this IVF child will learn that several of his brothers and sisters in the petri dish were deliberately created and destroyed so that he might live. Some IVF procedures go so far as to produce in multiple children that are then stabbed to death in the womb. That has consequences. What lessons does the IVF child learn about his value to his parents if his parents were so willing to kill his siblings?

Also...You have created a strawman argument. No one on this board is saying that once life is created it should cease to exist.
