In vitro fertilization

WHile its true that people should have control over their own lives they dont think about others lives that they may be effecting. Besides just physical and emotional problems, there can also be serious legal problems. While there are a ton of legal procedures that the Doctors must follow and if they break It they can be faced with serious legal problems like Dr. Michael Kamrava, who was the Doctor who implanted Octomom with 8 embryos and is now liable for gross negligence and is losing his medical license. After the operations the excess embryos can also be a serious legal issue, especially when couples split up. An article entitled, "Couple at war over frozen IVF embryos" perfectly describes a situation like this. The article begins by talking about how an infertile couple is currently in court, after their divorce, arguing over the future of their embryos that where in storage. The ex-husband wants for the eggs to be destroyed because he "can't afford to look after another one." And he doesn"t "want a child coming after me for maintenance" while the ex-wife said," I feel very strongly that we had started something, we had already created a life and it would be wrong to allow that to be destroyed." As you can tell in a situation like this a court case can last for an extremely long time because "The law governing fertility clinics says both partners must consent before treatment goes ahead. If either withdraws permission, clinics are legally obliged to destroy the frozen embryos." And with divorce being so prevalent in our society this pattern will only continue to rage on. In Vitro Fertilization is a revolutionary procedure but has too many downfalls. IVF has been proven to be more dangerous for both the mother and the babies and requires too much money to support legal costs and storage fees, if that is one of the three extremely difficult decisions that a couple has to make with leftover eggs. Besides have substantial moral issues the future of IVF procedures will be out of control and lead to numerous social divides. Humans playing God can and will only lead to incalculable consequences.
