Comments on: House moves to allow embryo ‘adoption’ http://blogs.ajc.com/gold-dome-live/2009/03/12/house-moves-to-allow-embryo-adoption/ The AJC has Georgia's largest Capitol reporting team, with political and government updates Mon, 20 Sep 2010 17:48:28 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Penny http://blogs.ajc.com/gold-dome-live/2009/03/12/house-moves-to-allow-embryo-adoption/comment-page-1/#comment-1527 Penny Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:09:10 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/gold-dome-live/?p=52#comment-1527 I had eggs stolen on 12/3/93, and 12/15/93 an the thoughts of someone else raising my childern is driving crazy. No one should have the right to buy and sale humans. The Fertility drus alone is a billion dollar business. Is the Reps pushing this bill invested? My 18 year old daughter has blocked tubes. She says. "If I have eggs frozen, then I will carry them all. If to many eggs are extracted, then only two at a time will be fertilized. To many people go to bed praying to find their real famlies. That's why the Locator, and Ancestory.com,etc does so well. People need to know who they are.

DUH!!!! Obviously, anybody for the bill that says otherwise is being disingenuous. They're not fooling anyone that has a working logical brain. “Some opponents characterized the bill as a back door attempt to outlaw abortion.”

As someone who has dealt with infertility, I can say from first hand experience that it makes this conversation much more personal and makes you not so quick to judge. I have friends who tried for years to conceive and then tried in vitro and both times it failed. They are now expecting a child through the use of a donor embryo. There are 1,000s of embryos which are frozen which people have no intentions of using. What would those who responded to this story propose that the fertility clinics do with these frozen embryos? Discard them? Use them for stem cell research? What if a couple who longed for a child were willing to go to the expense of having one of these frozen embryos implanted into them to give the embryo a chance at life and give them the chance of giving birth to a child and becoming parents. That is the type of couple you need to bear in mind when considering our state passing this legislation. The couple I know had to travel to another state which allows this type of transfer. Is there a legitimate reason why we would not want our state to allow this? I wonder how many people who have posted responses to this story know someone who has personally faced this issue?

There are so many options available for those unable to emotionally/financially support a child; therefore, I do not believe destroying that life should be a viable option Mary we are talking about embryos. A cell, that is not yet a life. That can not live with out being put into the uterus of a human being and allowed to grow into a fetus. Which takes several weeks. This bill is stupid and a waste of tax payers money. Who is going to pay for all these frozen embryos and keep them in storage? Hmmmm..tax payers!! The clinics will not pay and neither will the patients who don't own them or have rights to them. Because if they did, then they would have the right to choose what to do with those embryos. Funny how Obama just passed the stem cell research and now Georgia has to put an end to it this way.

Preserving an embryo is a personal matter, law should not comes into picture for that. who is going to pay to keep that embryo frozen? Think about your mental state when you know your embryo is lying with the clinic for forever when you don't want to donate it. and I am was talking about Iraq war where republican supported it with full heart without giving it second thought that it will kill innocent people.

When people donate their egg or sperm they have to sign away rights at that time. This bill was introduced just for the sake of introducing one. There is no merit or basis for it and it will not cut the incidence of lawsuits either. This is a total attempt to back door an effort to make abortion illegal. Our state is so backwards and these good ole boys like it that way... "keep them ignorant and uneducated and we can do whatever we want." What is the purpose of this ridiculous bill?
