[QUOTE="donna723, post: 243383, member: 1883"] It may not be illegal to implant someone with eight embryos, but they have said that it would go against the guidelines adhered to by the organization of reproductive specialists (forgot the exact name of the organization now). They would consider that to be unethical and to be putting both the mother and the resulting babies at a very high risk. I would think that refusing to implant embryos in certain patients would be sort of along the lines of a minister refusing to perform a marriage ceremony for certain couples, if he has very good reasons not to. It may not be [I]'illegal'[/I] for a doctor to implant someone with multiples who has no resources to care for them, but it is [I]"unethical".[/I] Just because you CAN do something doesn't necessarily mean that you SHOULD!
