[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just listened to her memoir and had a better impression of her and then I read this regarding the new baby: 
“When I was in ‘The Simple Life,’ I had to be in a room when a woman was giving birth and that traumatized me as well,” she told the publication. “But I want a family so bad, it’s just the physical part of doing it. I’m just so scared… childbirth and death are the two things that scare me more than anything in the world.”

She also talked a lot about wanting a girl in the memoir.  Didn't come out and say they gender selected but definitely hinted at it.

And now I'm back to thinking she's too vain and selfish to have two children.[/quote]
She said they have a lot of frozen eggs and embryos so she could have easily picked her preferred gender. I’m inclined to be a bit sympathetic to her after reading about her terrible experience at that boarding school.[/quote]

She said they had 20 boy embryos. Wonder what is happening to them now that she got her girl? I guess she doesn’t care.[/quote]

Same thing that happens to 19 of them if she had a boy, [b]and all the sperm a man makes almost every week as the egg a woman ejects almost every month. [/b][/quote]

Wtf are you talking about? A woman “ejects” an egg?

[b]What is happening to the frozen boy embryos that they made and are on ice now?[/b] That is completely different from an unfertilized egg being released every month and not being fertilized.

You are an idiot.

They get rid of them.[/quote]

Or they have another boy. They had a boy first, then went for the girl. Pretty reasonable. We can presume they're not going to try to have 20 kids so embryos will be trashed either way. A lot of us have no problem with that. [/quote]
I think they’ll have at least one more too. But if they really have 20 embryos left, then yea, they’re going to destroy the bulk of them at some point. Not sure what PP is expecting by asking what is going to happen to the leftover embryos. [/quote]

Why make 20 when there’s no way to possibly use them all?[/quote]

They probably made way more than 20, just to blow your mind.  They likely made as many embryos as she had eggs for, sent them all off for testing, and trashed the 40-60% that came back aneuploid.  Because that's how IVF with testing works.  Now they have a truly impressive number of embryos, some of which may be transplanted, and some of that number may ever implant, and of that number develop into a fetus, and of that number result in a live birth.

Your fantasy that every embryo created is a living child that must be protected by internet strangers is strange, and false.  It would be great if a person going through IVF could say "just create two embryos, because I only want two children" but that's not how it works.  If only.

- currently injecting myself with hormones nightly in the hope that some of my current follicles become mature eggs which can be whittled away through the IVF winnowing process until I hopefully, maybe, if I'm lucky, get a single kid[/quote]

I also did IVF and totally disagree. They very gratuitously made 20+ embryos bc they wanted a girl. They could have just had 2+ boys. Normal ppl who want kids are not doing a gazillion cycles for gender selection. I think that's immoral. I say that as someone who is complete pro-IVF and pro-choice. It is gross behavior that give IVF a bad rap.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
