I always felt if Prof Winston gave up medicine, he would fit in well with the staff in a kebab shop...

If like my wife and I, wanting only the chance to,
'have-a-baby', this would be the last thing on our minds.
The 'joy' of only being pregnant would be a marvel for us, far less than worring about 'stem-cells' storage!
But I recon some couples would be 'sucked-in' to this!
NOT US! we only want BaBa! Nothing More! and would NOT 'tempt-fate'

1. 'Suck' - McCrunchie, you got here before me this morning! ;-) good comment!

Que Sera Sera
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Of Course change the "little girl" to 'little boy'
NO snide comments BW!

And YES we are an IVF couple in the waiting!
BUT! "Que Sera Sera"

BW, have you got my breakfast on? :-D

I don't know whether this storing of embryonic stem cells is a total con job or a scientific break through, but I think perhaps that it is taking things too far.

natures way or no way ......... sorry just my view

Charles ... it was supposed to be cereal and cold milk this morning. But I just discovered that my little "darlings" have finished the milk and left very few flakes of corn in the box. I intend to kill them for their selfishness this evening.

Thank goodness, my partner and I decided to have some of my sperm stored in a chillbox before I had "the snip". If she's up to ovulating for me, I can have another pair of daughters, and maybe hopefully a son ... to replace the two ungrateful children I already have!

Sounds like a plan!!! And even if they jail me for it ... my partner can go ahead with implanting my thawed out sperm without me even being there.

Isn't science wonderful?

Sorry about the lack of brekkies, Charles! :(

#9 - Following your logic I would imagine that, were you to develop cancer at some time in the future, you will not be undergoing treatment.

What can I say... California isn't perfect...

Freezing sperm is one thing, but to conceive a human being, and then to kill it for it's stem cells... well, that's a whole other issue, not something I'm proud is brewing in my state.

Given the view of the embryo that we as a society have accepted (one that I do not agree with) it seems only logical that this kind of thing should happen & I cannot see why people who do accept this view should object.
