Biologist here.

The chances of self-correction are very low.

This research doesn't change anything. It's not even surprising to us researchers.

So what if it is low? The downside of transferring them is minimal.[/quote]

PP you make no sense unless you think terminating a pregnancy of a non-correcting embryo is a "minimal downside."[/quote]

Again there was not a single example of this actually happening.
 And yes compared to the infinite GAO of having a child, it is minimal. [/quote]

PP from page 2 who shared that DW worked with Braverman and who is now 25 weeks after transferring two untested embryos frozen on day 1. I do believe this can be a potential last resort for someone who wants desperately to have a child. And we trusted Dr. Braverman when he told us "do not touch those embryos" (i.e., do not send them to be tested). That said, DW terminated a VERY wanted pregnancy in the second trimester due to chromosomal abnormalities. I wouldn't wish this decision and pain on anyone. The pain of going through this versus being childless forever....that's a tough one. And I don't think you can comprehend the pain of that unless you've been through it - nor would you want to.

+1.  I absolutely agree with characterizing this as a potential last resort.  The glib responses to the heartbreaking choice of TMFR underscore why I have never really discussed my own heartbreaking decision.  I remain staunchly pro-choice and believe fully that I spared my own child a lifetime of pain.  But the PTSD I experienced after this particular loss is something I pray no one ever has to experience.[/quote]

glib responses <<< glib destruction of potentially viable embryos [/quote]
