NY Times Article on In Vitro/Selective Reduction = Twin Loss

Here is the kind of disturbing story we hear everyday about womb twin survivors in the making due to lack of awareness about the effects of these parental choices. A good lesson in DON'T DO IT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN AND JUST BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY WILL ALLOW IT! For the most part, it is pure selfishness for these women to seek motherhood at any cost in my opinion. Disturbing that noone is considering the negative effects on the surviving offspring, while fooling themselves that this is actually in their best interests (how convenient).

Not only will these womb twin survivors remember the traumas experienced from the womb including the controlled yet random murder of their twin, these embryos may already be grieving the others that weren't implanted in addition to those "selectively reduced"! They may even carry the pain of being conceived in a petri dish on a cold table under tremendous pressure to come to being rather than coming into a warm organic host environment.

At what point, and how many thousands of dollars and damaged lives later, does it take to arrive at the conclusion "There’s a point where you just have to let nature take its course.” as this woman says? "We all think we can conquer the world, but then reality hits you, and you realize you have limitations"

The limitations were always there!
See them for what they are and stop playing "god" people!!

It's very difficult reading these careless stories but best for now to know the stories behind the womb twin survivors we may meet and heal someday in the future. We know their pain and we're here for them.
