Connect things in the environment just in case theres a real connection. Welcome back a us. Welcome back a u. S. Court has ruled that a woman can destroy frozen embryos that her exhusband wants to say if court has ruled that a woman can destroy frozen embryos that her exhusband wants to say if her lawyer successfully argued the embryos were properly arse and 6 not just. The amber rose well thats a probability and not human lives just a couple about and Timothy Goodwin had signed an agreement that in case of divorce the embryos would be discarded and Timothy Goodwin had signed an agreement that in case of divorce the embryos would be discarded but when bilbao filed for divorce her husband changed his mind and called for the embryos to be doen but when bilbao filed for divorce her husband changed his mind and called for the embryos to be donated to another couple over the Connecticut Supreme Court gave control of the embryos to bill but added to another couple over the Connecticut Supreme Court gave control of the embryos to bilbao but good good ones of peel are argues these the embryos are human lives and lives. Are we going to. Be going to. Let life old the side of dennis thats the real is this you really should. It is clear that it is clear that embryos are not treated as a not treated as a legal person precisely for those concerns over what that would mean for procreative role as a legal person precisely for those concerns over what that would mean for procreative rights and the rights of privacy. We discuss this sensitive story with its and the rights of privacy. We discussed this sensitive story with a former judge just of sack and also with women rights advocate Reese Everson a former judge just of sack and also with women rights advocate Reese Everson. I think they did it the right way in that is that if you let it think and say did it the once right way because when this thing gets inserted i mean this when this family or when these this couple went to the clinic to you know do in vitro fertilization or when these this couple went to the clinic to you know do in vitro fertilization they signed a contract agreeing to destroy the embryos if they signed a contract agreeing to destroy the embryos if they decided to divorce and even when we use the term preembryo and i understand the court they decided to divorce and we even when we use the term preembryo and i understand the court used that term its really semantic gymnastics its just another designation to try to dehumanize that term its really semantic gymnastics its just another designation to try to dehumanizing whats human there are thousands and thousands of these human embryos in these clinics all around the country and people know what to do with them and it just seems ties whats human there are thousands and thousands of these human embryos in these clinics all around the country and people know what to do with them and it just seems to me a commonsense approach should be why dont we give those children up for adoption to couples who want them to me a commonsense approach should be or why dont we give those children up for adoption to couples who want them lets just give that child to someone else lets think about that in the larger scheme of lets just give that child to someone else lets think about that in the larger scheme of things youre basically telling a mother im going to give your child away and what things youre basically telling a mother im going to give your child away and let someone else raise your child frankly i think its of this is to the mum one else raise your child frankly i think its of fairness to the mother to say im going to take the egg that you created that she wanted to raise other to say im going to take the egg that you created that she wanted to raise and give it to someone else. And allow them to raise a child that you havent decided to create and give it to someone else and allow them to raise a child but you havent decided to create nobodys forcing anyone to do anything with the end result of what you know my nobodys forcing anyone to do anything with the end result of what you know my colleague the argument shes making is its better to destroy the embryo colleague the argument shes making is its better to destroy the embryo than allow someone else to raise it it just seems to me that theres no harm to anyone then allow someone else to raise it it just seems to me that theres no harm to anyone allowing the father to take it and donate it there are federal programs now federal so allowing the father to take it and donate it there are federal programs now federal centers that allow couples to quote unquote adopt these she would embryos and owners that allow couples to quote unquote adopt these she would embryos and then use them in any new players and taisha them in an envelope now then travel to go sharon and elect people that would have rather all right good to grow by people have the right to decide and bright and one paid great writer on paper they were there for him for a whole host of that really read wanted that if there is a him to hurry or has treated if they divorce and thats the right way to answer go right way to go we can then not history any frontieres trying to steer a vision from at that years to god damned if we does it to you at that time if we do we allow these contracts to mean absolutely nothing if we look at this strictly as a control we allow these contracts to mean absolutely nothing if we look at this strictly as a contractual matter i think that really leans more toward leans more toward seeing the actual matter i think that really leans more toward leans more toward seeing the human embryo is just a piece of property and and i just dont agree with that why cant we err on the side of human embryo is just a piece of property and and i just dont agree with that why cant we err on the side of life again this is not. Question where theres an egg and a sperm that have been combined with life again this is not a question where theres an egg and a sperm that have been combined theyve been combined a human embryo has been formed you know human life begins at conception theres conception and then theres preconception and what the court decided theyve been combined a human embryo has been formed you know human life begins at conception theres conception and then theres preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case was that these embryos are preconception absolutely correct in this case was that these embryos are preconception yes you have the sperm and yes you have the egg and yes they have combined to create an embryo i think yes you have the sperm and yes you have the egg and yes they have combined to create an embryo i think its absolutely asinine it strips the right of the woman and the mother or either gets absolutely asinine it strips the right of the woman and the mother or either parent frankly to create a child that these 2 parents are saying we dont want here and frankly to create a child that these 2 parents are saying we dont want this child to exist why do we have to destroy it what is the Public Policy on this child to exist why do we have to destroy it what is the Public Policy in favor of that thats my thing.
