Like any donor industry - reports and accurate records of all correspondance and interaction between parties involved is essential. It is too bad for some prospective couples who may feel overwhelmed by the process but think of the organ or marrow recipients that die waiting for the right match...waiting a little longer for a baby should be put in perspective. Having a baby is not a right - it's a priveledge. Doctors are taking advantage of their positions and this must be stopped. Not only are they making it easier for couples to get pregnant, but they're lining their pockets...and that is where the line must be drawn. It will only get worse if left alone. Doctors in New York don't even let donors know if they helped get their recipinet couple pregnant or how many of them they were actually donating for. Think about the long term effects of unidentified geneology - and the familiar interbreeding that may occur. .. so sure we should abolish some sort of regulations?

As a recepient of an embryo and a healthy baby, I can tell you that regulating this process has made it impossible for my husband and I to conceive this way again. Most doctors are phasing out their embryo adoption programs because of beaurocratice hoops. The sites interested in continuing this process after regulation have made it unappealing. Would you want to have a social worker, parenting classes, divulge your entire life including finances and religious beliefs? Not to mention that many of these sites are nothing more than beauty contests. If you are not all white, young, and rich, you will not be selected to receive these prescious embryos. MInd you that after all that you are not in the least gauranteed a baby, you are only gauranteed the chance to try to have a baby. So thanks a lot all of you that wanted to regulate this process. All you did was take another option away from my family. Regulation is not what you think.
