Not a problem - thanks for the insight. :) For some reason the thought didn't occur to me about there being embryos 'left over' from potential implantations and the like, and thus having a different purpose from the beginning. I agree that it's worth not wasting them.
Personally I don't have much of a problem with the use of aborted fetuses - I believe you said earlier some people were of the opinion that 'at least they don't go to waste' ..which admittedly does sound a bit awful - I can see why you wouldn't agree with it. But I'm all for not wasting things and seeing their potential. But people being paid for their fetuses is just abhorrent - that certainly is going to cause problems. I'm not against abortion, but I think some people are starting to treat it as a form of birth control, which it most certainly is not. It should be left as a last resort.. and giving a monetary incentive for it to occur is just stupid. I imagine the results of the research would be frightening. Dear me..
