~~Hold up, this sounds like unfertilized eggs. Does this mean that every period a woman has, where she passes an unfertilized egg is a wrongful death?! What in the FUUUUUCK...~~
I am an idiot, excuse me.
Embryos develop after fertilization.
Ah okay - I never realized that distinction; or I did, but I'm having a moment. :D
Additionally, I didn't realize embryos could be frozen.
Not only can they be frozen, but when they're frozen and you drop them in coca cola light, they work even better than mentos!
It’s quite common. People do it all the time for IVF.
I'm guessing the distinction here that allows this is that the cells haven't differentiated into more complex structures that could be damaged by cryogen.
True. Problem is, I would consider the question still valid on the basis that not every embryo successfully implants.
IVF can up the odds of success by using multiple embryos at the same time in the hopes that at least one of them will work, which is why people who go for IVF sometimes end up having quadruplets and such.
So every time one or more IVF attempts fail, what, they have to inform the government their 7th child in a row has died? Every post-coital period, do I hedge my bets?
Agreed. That said, I was just correcting the above commenter on the biology. It looks like they didn’t actually know when an embryo became an embryo. And it’s after fertilization. And even then, many fertilized eggs don’t actually become embryos.
I like your attitude! More people like you in this world, please!
I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong, but I promise you the world needs far less of people like me. I have far too many mental illnesses to count and don't play nice with others; even though I have an optimistic view of what humanity COULD be, and a general disillusionment because of seeing what humanity currently is.
But thank you all the same ;)
Stfu, you're mentally ill, you don't know what we need more of in this world. MORE OF YOU, MORE OF YOU, MORE OF YOU. 🥰
Thank you, you got a smile out of me and that's more than most people achieve these days.
Be kinder to yourself (only a little bit!). That world you're hoping for involves more people like you, and each of them feeling less unneeded.
Mental illness in a a very ill world can only mean so much. Eyes to the horizon, my friend.
