[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the pull to share this. I mean if it is the result of a genetic condition that impacts fertility and your children encounter or are expected to encounter it as an adult, sure. But garden variety, non-heridetary trouble conveiving seems not important to share with children (child or adult) - you don't share that they were conveived in a bed or in a car or in a petri dish, right? It's uncomfortable and unnecessary, but up to you, I guess. As for the IQ screening part: do not share. This could really backfire on you if your kids are hurt or offended, and if you have more kids with the lower ranked embryos, you'll have opened a pandora's box that is really hurtful and controversial. Do NOT share this. It is dangerous ammunition that will be out of your hands once you do. [/quote] Yes. That will really set off sibling rivalry to know the oldest was "best" and "smartest" from the embryo stage.[/quote]
