True, and then to be consistent, they would have to be against much of modern human reproductive science. That would be saying that a couple isn't entitled to get any child from her egg and his sperm, if it resulted in a second or third fertilized egg being discarded and not used.

And that would make The Octo-Mom and her repro specialist, that injected her with eight viable fertilized eggs ... heros?

(Edit: actually Octo-Mom was injected with seven fertilized eggs, one split, two of those kids are twins)
