Compassionate and skillful in-vitro fertilization for infertile couples under a physician's supervision is common. Human eggs are in great demand and are a commodity just like soy beans and computer chips. University women have been selling their eggs for thousands of dollars to pay expenses. The price for such eggs has more than doubled in six months because infertile couples are now competing for them. We can predict that with such demand, some genetically superior but mercenary women will become pregnant just to abort a girl fetus and sell her viable eggs.
Any laboratory can now readily obtain quality eggs and sperm from corpses donated to science.
Researchers know a human is there when the chromosome count is 46, cells are multiplying, and that life is a continuum which begins at the moment of fertilization. The head of NIH, who wants no restrictions, has selected a new ethics panel. Remember the notorious Tuskegee experiments, or that until 1973 the government sponsored secret radiation experiments on our soldiers. Research laboratories are racing to complete a human DNA map, which is the blueprint they need to completely understand life. Corporations are selling assets for needed cash to fund expansion of their laboratories for the promising genetic market.
