These unborn children often remain frozen indefinitely. Because of the ambiguous nature of these embryos&#8217; lives, there are estimated to be over half a million snowflake babies in the United States, which has prompted a snowflake adoption movement.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Snowflake adoptions also share some of the ethical problems that face <em>in vitro<\/em>\u00a0fertilization (IVF). Among these concerns is the utilitarian manner in which the embryos are treated, as if they are no more than a commodity for parents wishing to conceive. As with IVF, multiple embryos may be implanted in the adoptive mother with the full awareness that having just one embryo &#8220;take&#8221; (implant in the uterus and begin growing in a healthy manner) will be a success. The loss of unsuccessful embryos is not viewed as the same type of tragedy that, for example, a miscarriage (which is essentially the exact same thing) is.<\/p>\n<p>The attitude seems to be that the embryos that &#8220;take&#8221; are to be celebrated, and those who do not are simply to be forgotten. <a href=\"http:\/\/katiecouric.com\/videos\/snowflake-babies\/\"><strong>This clip<\/strong><\/a> from <em>Katie<\/em>\u00a0(primarily just after the 2-minute mark) demonstrates the problematic attitude towards snowflake embryos. Kelly, an adoptive mother, explains nonchalantly to Couric that two embryos were implanted inside of her when the adoption process began. Couric responds, &#8220;And then what happened? Don&#8217;t leave us hanging!&#8221; Kelly answers, simply saying , &#8220;We got pregnant with our son Trevor!&#8221;\u00a0And that was it. No mention of the lost baby or the fact that it had been anything more than a backup embryo for the couple.<\/p>\n<p>The problem of what to do with frozen human beings whose parents cannot or will not gestate them is, undeniably, a huge concern to the medical community and to people of good will everywhere. However, the ethical problems attending the process from beginning to end are equally troubling. When human lives are created and stored as commodities solely meant to fulfill desires or accommodate a more convenient lifestyle, a cascade of problems is bound to follow, and the reality of snowflake adoptions highlights those issues in turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, Katie Couric showcased the topic of snowflake adoptions on her daytime talk show,\u00a0Katie.\u00a0Snowflake adoptions are the adoptions of frozen embryos by an unrelated mother who gestates the embryo and raises it as her own.\u00a0Rebecca Taylor, a pro-life writer who specializes in molecular biology, explains the process: Embryo adoption has been proposed as a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":152,"featured_media":41973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Katie&#039;
