Akkam’s Razor

I had just talked about this to my wife over dinner tonight…

“The law banned most research on embryos, imparted to embryos the rights of born children and outlawed the use of donor sperm and eggs. Women beyond child-bearing age, gay couples and single people were all denied access to in vitro fertilization and other assisted fertility techniques. Embryos no longer could be screened for abnormalities.

The law also limited to three the number of eggs that could be harvested and fertilized at any one time, and then required all three to be implanted in the woman’s womb at once. The aspiring mother could not refuse implantation once the eggs were fertilized. The freezing of spare embryos was forbidden, meaning the frequent failures to conceive forced women to start the painful and inconvenient process all over again. “
