In Vitro Fertilization A Billion Dollar Killing Industry in the United States

WASHINGTON, July 15, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A New York Times special report today, which looks at artificial procreation after 25 years, reveals that in vitro fertilization is a billion dollar a year industry in America causing the deaths of countless human embryos.  The Times reports that “Nearly 100,000 attempts in year 2000 led to more than 35,000 babies,” and notes further that “Costs remain high – an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 per attempt.”  On a conservative estimate, two to four live human embryos are transferred to the mother’s womb with each attempt.  Thus, in the year 2000, with some 300,000 human embryos transferred, 35,000 were born accounting for the death of 265,000 human embryos in the attempt.  Moreover, costs for the 100,000 attempts would have reached $1.25 billion.  See the New York Times coverage:  https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/15/health/15IVF.html
