In Vitro Fertilization is a method used by some couples who have (for one reason or another) been unable to conceive through more natural means.
One of my friends and his wife chose to use IVF when they'd been unable to conceive naturally...ok, ok, when his wife had been unable to conceive naturally. Happy now? So they did the IVF and his wife got pregnant, as frequently happens with IVF, and they ended up with twins, because after years of trying his wife had finally conceived naturally at almost the same time as she underwent IVF. Both embryos developed and in nine months she gave birth to twins...sort of...one boy, one girl :) And they were as happy as pigs in mud...probably even happier than that :)
This morning I caught a news report from Australia about a Lesbian couple who'd used IVF to conceive and they were suing their doctor because they'd had twins and they only wanted one child. To one set of parents, two children were an unexpected blessing. To another set, two was one too many. Strange how the world works.

To me, the fact that the couple would be willing to give up a child tells me that they don't deserve to have even one child, much less two.
Amen to that, Xinh!
