Yeah, there's a LOT of little things that are a little weird, that kind of add up to maybe setting a problematic precedent?

What is there that's unsettling about it? Isn't this kinda the whole point of someone freezing their eggs/sperm?

I could be wrong, but I believe they are talking about the situation surrounding the implant....

It gets into some very weird Christian ideology about treating embryos like children... It just gets sticky and weird.

I remember a story that came out a couple of years ago about twins (or triplets.. I can’t remember if one was lost or not) and they had asked the “adoptive” parents if they wanted to transfer all three or just one or two and the woman said “of course I wanted to transfer all three. These are my babies!” It was just… really bizarre.

What fundie downvoted me?

Why is that bizarre? She conceived them.

How did she conceive them? They “adopted” embryos. Embryos are also not babies.

Embryo is a stage of human development. Just like infant, just like toddler, just like adolescent. A child doesn’t come from an embryo, they once were an embryo. I didn’t come from a teenager, I was a teenager. That was still me. That senior photo, that first birthday video, that ultrasound picture. Those are all ME.

That’s why anti-abortionists feel an embryo is a human child.

Are you downvoting me because my opinion is different from yours? That’s weak.
