Because they wanted to. Why do you care? |
Unless there's some evidence that they had all boy embryos and tried again to get a girl for transfer, you're just inventing this out of whole cloth to judge them. They may, in fact, have chosen a girl from the embryos they had (which is not something I would do, but there are many things Paris Hilton does that I would not do). But I don't know of any clinic or protocol that tells you to make fewer embryos than possible, for any reason. I don't know how old she was when her eggs were collected (I'm assuming these were from a collection at a younger age), but they have to be thawed and mixed with his forty-something sperm to get to the next stage, and there's no reason to believe they created a bunch for any goal other than to have the best chance of success. |
Because Republicans want to control women's bodies and this should absolutely be included. You don't get to make as many embryos as you want and then destroy the ones you don't use. You don't get a loophole because they are in a deep freezer. |
God forbid to the previous poster who thinks 40 is old. |
Congratulations to the new nannies! |
So your theory is, what, intentionally sacrificing 4 babies is OK but killing 20 is beyond the pale? Or killing 4 non-babies is OK but killing 20 is beyond the pale? Make this make sense. |
Why can't she sell them? Arent eggs with hot rich genes valuable? |
Np no one forced him to have sex with the woman. |
LOVE this response! |
I didn't make it up She's openly admitted it: https://people.com/parents/paris-hilton-20-boy-embryos-frozen-still-trying-for-girl/ |
Literally the headline: "Paris Hilton Says She and Carter Reum Have 20 Boy Embryos Frozen and Are Still Trying for a Girl" |
Nobody forced her to have sex with him either. |
Okay, I take it back. That's really bizarre behavior. I still don't think it should be illegal or anything because it's her body, her money, and no one is harmed by it, but I cannot imagine putting myself through 7+ retrieval cycles for a gender preference. |
But she accepted the consequence correct and he just walked away. |
I’m so confused by this mentality. Would you only allow a woman to have an abortion if she were raped? Or do you think it’s okay for a woman to have a good time, make a mistake, get pregnant and then have an abortion to fix her mistake? I’m fully pro-choice, so I go with the latter. But I’m not sexist and apply the same logic for men. I can see a man having a good time, making a mistake, getting a woman pregnant and then telling her that he’d prefer for her to have an abortion because he doesn’t want to be a father. I see nothing wrong with him choosing not to participate in the child’s life, if the woman decides to go through with the pregnancy and have the child despite his wishes. In this case, he’s providing financial support which is more than enough for a man who point blank said he didn’t want the pregnancy. Why should he or she suffer more for the same mistake they made together? The woman gets the ultimate choice in deciding whether or not to keep the pregnancy, but a man should get the choice of deciding whether he wants to be a father to a child he didn’t want with a woman he wasn’t married to. He shouldn’t be obligated to father this child anymore than she should be obligated to keep the pregnancy. |
