Ethical Dilemmas of Frozen Embryos from IVF Treatments

The chapter delves into the ethical challenges posed by the millions of frozen embryos left in limbo after IVF treatments, known as 'snowflakes' with numerical identifiers. The discussion explores the moral implications of potentially adopting these embryos, the Church's perspective on technologies like IVF, and contrasts it with NAPRO technology. It also examines societal contradictions in valuing embryos for IVF while debating laws on the decriminalization of abortion, questioning the perceived worth of human life at different stages of development.
