just curious what everyone's views are concerning the relationship between these two topics. some anti-abortionist consider a life to start at conception, these IVF embryos are fertilized, they're just not implanted. so is it at fertilization or implantation that destroying it becomes 'murder' as anti-abortionists call it?
please be respectful.

can you clarify what the difference is in your opinion, if you see one.

both are just a mass of tissue to a certain point. so wouldn't that make them the same?

please, can you EXPLAIN the bases of your opinions. thanks.

also, what do you think of just freezing them indefinitely? is that better than destroying them? how?

There is a key difference here. The early abortions would grow into a human if left alone. The IVF embryos are not going to develop into a human whether left alone or not.
If the IVF embryos are left alone and just kept somewhere until they are no longer usable, is that morally better than discarding after the IVF procedure is done? I see it being the same and therefore I do not see it as murder.
For that matter I do not see abortion as murder either, because it is not yet a life as we know it. That being said, there is a difference between these two.

No, IVF embryos are masses of cells. Tissue. I once accidently cut off some skin from my finger and threw it away. Was "that" an abortion? Doubtful.
Anti-abortionists will have you believe your morning bowel movement was an abortion. Murder is a word which is thrown around a lot by extremists and psychotic people who cannot accept a WOMAN'S right to choose. Killing doctors is alright, through. Let's keep it in perspective, right? :-P
Don't like abotions? Dont' have one.

no I do not, these embryos were taken just in case the first ones failed, It would be like every month a woman has her menstrual period she is accused of having an abortion because the egg was not fertilized. as well if all the embryos that are fertilized were brought to term, WHO would be willing to care for all these unwanted children. I do believe that they should not be kept indefinitely, to what purpose would they serve

in general they are similair, both destroy an embryo.
but there's a difference between an embroyo made in a lab and not implanted, and an embryo made the old fashioned way.
we can't just save those embroys forever. that illogical.
if people want them saved forever they have to take the responcibility for them.
I'm pro-choice, pro-having children even if you can't physically do it without assistance, and pro-stem cell research.
my belief is what someone does is no one's business but their own and they must take responcibility for every decision they make

I am pro choice, but, if they consider every other type abortion, then I guess that would be considered abortion as well. I am not sure when life really begins, probably when they start growing parts of their anatomy and you can start to see that they are a fetus. But, I still think women should have the right to chose.

No I don't think so. It's not a viable embryo until it becomes implanted. Life begins in the womb not the in the test tube after all.

No, I don't. This is a delicate subject where science and morals are increasingly coming into terms. The discovery of stem cells in the amniocentesis process will quite likely aide in this area as a resolution to future conflict. In our lifetime, these issues will be resolved. It won't be today and tomorrow doesn't look good, either.

No, those embryos have not implanted yet. it fairly is elementary customarily replica that embryos that have not implanted are dispelled. There are purely too many embryos left over to furnish all of them of project. yet i could experience undesirable approximately throwing them away. i think of embryo adoption is a solid selection!

No, Up to a certen week it is a mass of tissue.

no because before you get your period, the unfertilized egg dissolves. if thats the case, women are committed abortion every month
