Heterologous Insemination • Consent: Husbands consent required by some states • Avoid a “wrong” to the husband • Could sustain a suit for damages
Frozen Human Eggs • What to do with the leftovers? • Over 500,000 embryos are in cryopreservation in the US • What do we consider these embryos?
Catholic Church • To create a child outside of conjugal love is immoral • Heterologous insemination considered adultery • Is this a bridge to use of embryonic stem cells, use of cloning???
