...issue. And he went to war with the Democratic legislature over stem-cell research, though his position on that issue is not entirely consistent with that of pro-life groups. Romney - whose wife suffers from multiple sclerosis - supports the use of embryos harvested but not used for in vitro fertilization. He's not for cloning...
...With no financial responsibility to these children, it made perfect sense.Not all Harvard students are so gung-ho about spreading their seed. Secretary of Harvard Right to Life Justin S. Murray ’07, speaking on his own behalf, calls the practice immoral, especially when combined with in vitro fertilization. “This reeks of eugenics,” says Murray, who says that “designing your baby...creates an atmosphere in which the baby will only be accepted conditionally, based on the specific characteristics sought out in the sperm donors.” James?...
Would-be mothers who fear time is running out can take comfort from a Finnish study that showed that it's the quality of the embryo--not the age of the woman--that determines the success of in vitro fertilization. The study found that the pregnancy rate for women in their late 30s who had a single, top-quality embryo transfer was as good as that of younger women. What makes a grade-A embryo? Belgian researchers found that the transplant of a single fresh (not frozen) Day 5 embryo in infertile women under age 36 led to pregnancy...
There are a few Monterrey-headquartered firms making their way into the world-class league, like Vitro, which manufactures glass. Another is Cemex, the cement behemoth, with $15.3 billion in sales last year--the world's largest producer of ready-mix concrete. It recently made a $12.8 billion bid for Rinker Group of Australia that would be the largest acquisition ever by a Mexican firm and would strengthen Cemex's already leading position in the U.S. market. Such success puts the city on a trajectory pulling further and further ahead of much of the rest of the country. Mexican states...

The procedure, which is based on pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, a test commonly done when couples at IVF clinics are concerned about passing on genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is supposed to spare the embryo after a single cell is removed. But since the test has only been used widely since the 1990s, it's not absolutely clear that taking one cell out of the embryo has no effect on normal development of the implanted embryos...
