Praying For And Saving Conceived Eggs Before Implantation

i could actually see as possible or probable.... many or most arguing that we should pray for them, but we shouldn't try saving them. that would be tremendously ironic. to pray for someone but do nothing to help them.

[Credo in Deum]

The pole would not let me vote on just one, so I will give my answer here.

1.) I cannot speak for all Christian/Catholics so I couldn't say if others need to pray more; however, in my daily prayers I include the souls of all who are dying or who have died.

2.)Except in the case of IVF, the death these humans experience is a natural one. In fact it is just as natural as a person dying of old age, so we are not guilty of immoral behavior when this natural death is allowed to occur. Especially when there is no realistic way of preventing it, just like with old age. Their lives are in God's hands.

i thought my options would have covered anyone.

 

even if they are natural deaths, you could just say 'it's a good technology but we shouldnt do it' or 'it's not a good technology so we shouldn't do it'.

 

it's not possible to say 'it's ont a good technology so we should do it' so i didn't include it.

 

i would really be pushing the limits of science fiction, were i to inject the possibility of saving these people, and making sure any defects they have that prevente them from implanations etc, were removed. as above poster argued, it is a natual death, so i doubt one could be accountable for not doing anything. but when it's possible to save them, fully health and intact, it becomes more and more pushing obligatory.

 

if your child has a disease, are you not obligated to save them with a techology if you can? would it be okay to just say "they will die of natural causes so i can't be faulted"?

in a way, to not want to save them, is akin to a situation like .... "well, i'd want to save my healthy child if the technology was available, but this child is deformed so i wont try to". actually, it's even worse than that ""well, i'd want to save my healthy child if the technology was available, and while i have the technology available to save the deformed child AND remove the deformity, it is a deformed child, so i will jsut let it die of natural causes"/

wish i could edit my poll. i would include the far out sci fi possibility of saving the eggs, but also keeping them from being deformed. it would definitely add an intersting twist.
