[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you can destroy them, but cannot donate them, as either way, you don't have the children.  Regardless, though, that's your choice and I'm sorry you're upset.[/quote]

I would feel better knowing I got them at least a chance with an other family struggling with infertility[/quote]

Were you ever in this situation? Did you donate them?

If not, then you have no idea.[/quote]

DP but I was an IVF baby. When I found that out it took me forever to get the nerve to ask if my parents destroyed embryos. I had one sibling but always wanted a larger family and it would’ve destroyed me knowing my siblings (which very well could have been me) were killed simply because they weren’t picked. (And gratefully my parents only had one embryo each time). So PP - were you ever in *that* situation? If not then you have no idea. [/quote]

How is this different than a mother deciding to terminate a pregnancy? Her body her choice. The children and siblings don't get a say.[/quote]

DP. Of course siblings don't have a choice but they are still entitled to feeling sad. I would be devasted if I learned my mom had an abortion. I learned early on of a couple of abortions in my extended family and I felt sad as a kid and it still makes me sad today. I have a tiny family and would have treasured another cousin or an uncle. People dumb it down by saying her body her choice but those choices have huge ramifications not just for her but for her entire family, even beyond that generation. Life is not as black and white as you imagine. [/quote]

This is an extremely self-centered opinion. People made the choices that were best for them at the time. These choices may have even made it possible for you to have the small family you have today. They owed nothing to you. Let it go. [/quote]
