The Ethics of Embryo Adoption

Stephanie Foleyby Stephanie Foley

Last month in Tennessee, the longest known frozen human embryo was born. Emma Wren Gibson was conceived for in vitro fertilization (IVF), but was left frozen in storage for 25 years. When she was adopted as an embryo by Tina and Benjamin Gibson she made history – as a baby that was conceived just a year before her mother.

Fr. Tad Pacholczyk, Director of Education at The National Catholic Bioethics Center, joined us on Morning Air® to discuss these “snow babies,” and the ethics of  adopting frozen embryos.
