Families grow with ‘snowflake’ adoptions

Quoted: According to Alta Charo, professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the idea of embryo adoption is morally acceptable to most people. Even those who consider in vitro fertilization objectionable often consider the leftover embryos as humans deserving dignity and life. The Catholic Church, for example, has been at the forefront condemning in vitro fertilization, but has no official position on embryonic adoption.
