In Vitro Fertilization - We Should've Seen This Coming

Dr. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Theology Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky brings to light a horrible consequence of IVF: the destruction of over a million human embryos in Great Britain. Similar things are happening in the US.

In IVF often times more embryos are created in the lab than are actually implanted. The extras are stored in liquid nitrogen and can stay in that state of suspended animation for as long as seven years. Perhaps you have heard of the "snowflake babies" - the term comes from couples who choose to rescue these embryos by having them implanted and bringing them to term.
