Good for your friend.

I also have friends who don’t know what to do about their frozen embryos.

They cannot physically carry another pregnancy.

Let someone adopt them.

Snowflake Embryo Adoption Program.

President Bush has been highlighting this recently.

I don't think they should allow the freezing of the embryos, and then that issue would not arise. The number of eggs harvested at one time should perhaps be limited.

My friends do not want their potential offspring out there in the world being raised by someone else - so they both oppose adoption of the embryos. I know that sounds selfish, but I think that's how many people feel. Then it is a matter of whether to allow the embryo to be discarded/destroyed or donated for research in lieu of being destroyed for nothing (the lesser of two evils?).

I think they are leaning towards the latter after fighting about the adoption option. It is not a decision I would want to make. But then I would have adopted rather than use IVF in the first place (but easy for me to say).

What do you think your friends will do?
