What is the fate of leftover frozen embryos?

August 21, 2009

By the time she was in her 40s, Andrea Cinnamond was afraid she’d never be a mother. Then came the day in 2005 her daughter was born through in vitro fertilization, followed two years later by twin sons. Today, Kaitlin, Jack, and Aidan bounce around like Ping-Pong balls through their Boston home. Cinnamond, now 49, and her husband are grateful for their healthy children and the medical science that helped create them. Yet she’s haunted by the three embryos that were left over. (MSNBC)
