Life Matters: Mark Mellinger, National Embryo Donation Center
Show Details
What's happening in the world of Embryo Donation and
Embryo Adoption? Are there any morally good options for excess embryos left
in a frozen state? NEDC preserves and safeguards embryos donated to them.
NEDC believes in the sanctity and dignity of human life. About 75 percentof
embryos survive the freeze and thaw process which is much higher than the
national average of about 50 percent. And 45 percent of these donated embryos
result in a live birth by the adoptive couple. How does the open and closed
adoption process work in this embryo 'transfer' process. What are the pros
and cons? How does the racial component factor in? What are the costs
involved? NEDC is the largest embryo adoption organization in America with
890 successes to date!
