State Bill Would Allow Residents to Manufacture Unlimited Embryos and Destroy Them All

Assisted reproductive technology is marred with ethical and moral controversy, but under a new bill that could be passed by the Illinois House of Representatives as soon as next month, procedures such as the serial manufacturing and destruction of embryos could become “fundamental rights” for residents of the state.

Margaret Croke, the freshman state representative for Illinois’s 12th district, first introduced HB 5779 in August with the intent of debating it in the legislative veto session scheduled for November. Croke wrote in her September newsletter about using the bill to enshrine abortion and assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as serial embryo creation and destruction, as “fundamental rights” for all Illinoisans. . .

The Democrat’s legislation, specifically, seeks to amend the state’s “Reproductive Health Act,” a law granting residents on-demand abortions, to add ART to the list of “fundamental rights” all adults in the state can demand.

That technology, according to the bill text, includes in vitro fertilization, gamete intrafallopian transfer, zygote intrafallopian transfer, embryo biopsy, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (which often yields incorrect results and leads to premature disposal of viable embryos), embryo freezing (which reduces the chance of an embryo surviving), problematic procedures such as supplying egg and sperm (which preys on young adults strapped for cash), and supplying embryos.
