>>And you have yet to find ONE clinic that publicly states they will implant more than three.

I’ve had enough of your circumlocution. You go ahead and keep citing your hysterical ‘facts’. When YOU have gone through IVF, or have been through it first hand with someone, let me know, k? Ciao.<<

I’m going to state it again. You have given no links stating your “facts”. The proof is in the references. I’ve asked you time and again to show a reference to a clinic and the number of living embryos that clinic implants.

At the same time I have given three references to women who stated that three or more embryos were implanted and Trisham gave a reference to three along with the procedure being repeated. 3 + 3 = 6.

Here is another for you.
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/WomensHealth/Story?id=6291477&page=1

On the second page it states this...

“Arthur Caplan, director of the Center of Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, believes that ethically, doctors must do whatever they can to prevent multiple births.

“I have long argued that nobody should be putting more than four embryos into any woman because of the high risk of super multiple pregnancies which are hugely dangerous to newborns,” said Caplan.

“We know that usually every one of these cases has the kids in a neonatal unit, that disability and learning disorders are common and death can even occur,” he said. “In my view, the ethical thing to do is to control against the possibly of super multiples occurring.”

But unlike in many European countries, where the number of embryos that can be implanted in women is kept to a maximum of three, the U.S. has no such regulation, said Caplan. That makes it harder for doctors to resist parents who want as many embryos as possible implanted.”

So as you can see, no this is not regulated in the states and doctors routinely implant “more than three”.

Those who are not prepared for these multiple births, “harvest” them. In other words, abort the unwanted.

I’m sorry you were misinformed.

Being pro-life can be complicated. Things may not always be what they seem at first glance, and the desire to have a child can be overwhelming.

Oh I see. So if you repeat the procedure, it counts as six? Oh brother.

I have given links to the actual clinics that state their procedures. You have yet to find one that will transfer MORE THAN THREE AT ONE TIME, as you have claimed.

I'm sorry you are relying on hysterical allegations instead of clinical facts. Come back to me when you have PROVEN DOCUMENTED FACT FROM A CLINIC that they will transfer MORE THAN THREE EMPRYOS in ONE cycle. Otherwise, do not reply to me again.
