So my mom and I were talking about Bush and what a hypocrite he is. Because of, you know, that massive initiative he started to get surrogate mothers and adoptive parents for all those hundreds of thousands of embryos that won't be used for research. Because no one who cares that much about the sanctity of human preborn life could stand back and watch all those embryos being thrown away. Except not.
So we were talking about Bush and we had this conversation:
mom: He had a bunch of those kids on stage with him. What do they call those kids? I can't remember...
me: Fucking snowflake babies.
mom: Right, that's it.
Now that is a cool mom, who'll let you say "fucking snowflake babies" and not get offended.
ok, my question is: do they have funerals for the embryos they adopt that don't survive being thawed, or survive thaw but don't result in a pregnancy?
as far as I know the only funeral those embryos are getting is a biohazard trash can. But no, we can't use them for research, because that would be disrespectful to human lives which we are about to toss in the garbage.
