Is Cryopreservation, an alternate to failed IVF treatment?

Mar 31, 2009 by Namita R | Posted in Trying to Conceive

Spare embryos of good quality can be frozen and stored for future use. In case of failed IVF treatment in the first cycle, these preserved eggs offer a second chance of success without the need for ovarian stimulation and egg collection.

What happens to test tube embryos that are never implanted into a womb? Does anyone know or care?

Jun 13, 2007 by ZER0 C00L ••AM••VT•• ▼ ►ANGEL◄ ▲ | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

You know, those embryos which are created through in vitro fertilization and then suspended in embryonic cryopreservation indefinitely only to be rendered unnecessary after the woman conceives naturally or with another in vitro embryo?

What do you think happens when they're no longer needed? They're disposed of, that's what. Is anyone concerned about this? I mean, all those folks who cause such an uproar over embryonic stem cell research must be positively OUTRAGED about this, right?

Any thoughts on this?
Misty, but it happens. Why isn't there some sort of public outcry? Why doesn't anyone care about THIS, why isn't it even an issue? Why are people pulling their hair out about stem cell research but not this? Seems like people pay attention to politics and not to their principles.

The answer is that very little of the people who care about the sacrifice of children for false healing through embryonic research also care about the children that die as a sacrifice to other children in In Vitro Fertalization.

The reason for this? The first and most common reason is lack of knowledge. Very few people actualy know the In Vitro Fertalization kills more children than it "creates."

The second, still prominent, reason is hypocrisy. Many pro-lifers fail to apply that same standards that have towards surgical abortion to all life. We can see this in numerous ways, and on of them is the common stance on In Vitro.

Pro-lifers, it's time to stop.

Cryopreservation. Dead Or Alive?

Dec 30, 2009 by Brooke B | Posted in Other - Science

Are humans who volunteer to be cryopreserved, frozen while they are still alive? The whole thing makes absolutely no sense. (Please spare explanations on the whole process. No cheek intended but I know how it's done. I just fail to see how preserving someone after they've died can possibly mean a chance for regeneration or awakening, much less done if they were alive. I do realize that sperm cells, embryos and ovarial things have been preserved successfully.)

People who are cryogenically frozen are dead when the process is begun. Usually they have died of cancer, AIDS, or another heretofore incurable disease/disorder, and hope to be 'brought back to life' when the cure is found. The theories behind cryogenics are sound, but we have yet to find a method to thaw out and then reanimate the body. The cells are destroyed during the freezing process, and so far, no one except Frankenstein knows how to bring dead tissue back to life.
Hope this helped!

Embryo Banking in IVF: An Approach That Arrests the Adverse ...

by Geoffrey Sher, MD

An ever increasing number of American women first seek IVF treatment in their late 30’s or early 40’s.This trend is in large part due to the fact that more and more women are choosing to defer childbearing until they have fulfilled their career aspirations. While such deliberate deferment is understandable, it nevertheless poses significant problems, because women in their late 30’s and early 40’s have about one half the chance of having a baby following IVF than do women in their early to mid 30’s. There are two primary reasons for this: is the fact that advancing age beyond 35 years is accompanied by an inevitable and progressive increase in chromosomal egg abnormalities ( aneuploidy ) which lead to “incompetent” embryos that cannot propagate viable pregnancies. That is why we see a profound and steady decline in IVF success rates as well as an increase in chromosomal miscarriages and birth defects such as Down’s syndrome with advancing maternal age. Most women/couples would like to have more than one child. This desire is no less prevalent in older women. However, by the time the older woman decides to do IVF, goes through the process successfully, has a baby, completes breastfeeding, and thereupon re-establishes regular menstruation in order to try for another IVF baby, a period of 2-3 years will have elapsed. While such a hiatus would usually be of little consequence to a young woman, for an older woman such a delay could seriously impact her “biological clock” so as to drastically reduce her chance of having another baby with her own eggs. The concept of embryo banking/stockpiling would not have been feasible even 5 years ago, since it was not until quite recently that we became able to reliably identify chromosomally normal (“competent”) embryos for selective banking. Embryo freezing technology has also evolved dramatically over that time. Just a few years ago, the freezing process...
