But I thought they were going to thrown away?

Here's President Bush with some of those "spare embryos" that Dana Reeve told us, "that would not, once it was implanted, turn into a human being."



In a way, Dana is right. Implanting these children into their adoptive mother's womb didn't turn them into human beings. They were already human beings before they were implanted.

Here is the President's statement regarding embryo adoption. Here's an excerpt:

The children here today remind us that there is no such thing as a spare embryo. Every embryo is unique and genetically complete, like every other human being. And each of us started out our life this way. These lives are not raw material to be exploited, but gifts. And I commend each of the families here today for accepting the gift of these children and offering them the gift of your love.
