MSM’s embryonic truths magnified II
A major anti-life talking point when pitching embryonic stem cell experimentation is the “400,000” extra embryos number, which is misleading, as I have previously written about. In actuality, only about 2.8% of those embryos, or 11,000, are available for experimentation.
An article in today’s Detroit Health News lets loose with the truth…
According to a 2003 study by the Rand Corp., patients have designated about 2 percent of the 400,000 embryos in frozen storage for discard, about 2 percent for donation to other couples, about 3 percent for donation to private research and about 88 percent for future “family building” [emphasis mine].
The article also inadvertently draws one to the more appropriate solution regarding extra embryos: Shouldn’t we seek to have less of them?
[MSM’s pro-embryonic stem cell stories usually contain minimized truths for the beholding eye. “MSM’s embronic truths magnified” is an ongoing feature spotlighting those truths.]
