Number of frozen embryos in labs: 400,000
Number that have been adopted: 128
Percent of embryos that are adopted: 0.03%
Percent of embryos that are not adopted: 99.97%
There are 400,000 embryos languishing in storage tanks at fertility clinics; only a very small number are candidates for adoption. “Even with federal funding available to encourage adoption, the number [of pregnancies from these embryos] is 128, which makes it conclusive that these 400,000 embryos will either be used for scientific research or thrown away,” said Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, who supports expanded research. The legislation, which passed by wide margins in the Republican-controlled House and Senate but fell short of a vetoproof two-thirds majority, would only use embryos that would otherwise be discarded, and then only with the written consent of the couple that created them.
So it is guaranteed, statistically guaranteed, that the cells used for stem cell research will never become life. They will sit in tanks and die. So how is using cells that are guarantee to never become more than a collection of a few hundred cells and that are going to be thrown in the trash anyway pro life?
