===In vitro fertilization=== [[In vitro fertilization]] is a process in which multiple viable [[embryo]]s are created, and a single one implanted, with the extra ones frozen for potential future use. After the parents stop paying the storage fees for these, they are discarded, which has been opposed by anti-abortion advocates.{{ r | MJ_2022-07-01 }} Herb Geraghty, executive director of the secular group Rehumanize International, which promotes the consistent life ethic, said, "We should not intentionally end the life of a human being, regardless of where they are in their lifecycle, in a womb or in a fertility lab",{{ r | MJ_2022-07-01 }} but also that he does not know what should be done with the "thousands of human beings who are currently frozen against their will."<ref name=MJ_2022-07-01>{{Cite news |last=Butler |first=Kiera |date=1 July 2022 |title=IVF Worked, and 2 Embryos Remain.
