Abstract:
There is growing debate over the transfer, or "placement," of embryos. During the first national conference on embryos (Emerging Issues in Embryo Adoption and Donation), funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Thomas C. Atwood, President and CEO of the National Council for Adoption, expressed his views and concerns regarding embryo "adoption." This article will highlight Mr. Atwood's presentation, offering a chance to examine and reflect on the scientific questions and moral implications of this new procedure.
