Jon Stewart gives some wonderful perspective on this recent development in two rather amusing segments.

UPDATE: There are some parts of these two videos one might cringe at a little. I’m not necessarily advocating everything that was said, but I think it made some valid points.
Mindy pointed out that Invetro Fertilization, the procedure that has created the majority of these frozen embryos, is a commodity available only to the rich. These embryos are really the ‘children’ of rich couples who had this procedure done. I guess that just was interesting to me. Maybe they should be taking care of all their embryos if they want them.
