[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very personal choice that should be carefully thought about by each couple. It really comes down to your religious views and level of comfort. We are a torn family - my husband is atheist and wants to donate ours to science; [b]I'm Christian and do not want them destroyed because I believe they are lives[/b]. The idea of giving them to science makes me think that my child might be used in controversial science experiments (there is work moving forward in mixing human and animal eggs) - see recent article - http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-04/us-government-lift-ban-part-human-part-animal-embryos. There is no way to specify HOW your eggs are used with science. I am leaning toward donation, but I also struggle with the idea that another person will be raising my child. Ultimately you will have to look deep within to see what you can live with. Those of you who are being judgmental should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm so over people thinking their shit doesn't stink![/quote]

If they are lives then you don't need to donate.  Just take them home and let them grow.  After all they are lives!  No need for medical intervention or a transfer.  Just raise your embryos.  They are the same as a baby.  [/quote]

NP here. Why is it so acceptable to make fun of someone else's beliefs?  She stated what she believes, she's not telling you what to do with yours.  No need to be so rude.

We have 6 embryos left over from our successful cycle.  We plan on trying for a second in another year, but no idea what to do with any we might have remaining after that point.  Ours were not PGS tested, though, and I was 36 at retrieval, so I would be very surprised if they are all genetically normal.  If we had to make the decision right now, I believe we'd donate to science.[/quote]
