Divorce shatters a family. A woman longs motherhood. A man is entitled to his offspring. Lawyers play a role. Court begins session. No laws. Who wins? The problem itself may not be divorce, but the lack of communication between spouses that causes problems throughout the divorce. Excess frozen embryos in the United States need to be dealt with, making it an outstanding problem. Over 400,000 frozen embryos can be found in storages throughout the United States, inclining daily, people still don’t know what they want to do with their own left over frozen embryos that will not be used (Beauchaine). Although frozen embryos offer an extensive amount of help to couples that cannot conceive a problem still remains with the increasing amount of embryos

The problem weighs heavily on people when the question, “What do you want to do with the rest of your frozen embryos?” is asked. Doctors often get the response, “I’ll think about that tomorrow.” When it comes to the excess amount of frozen embryos in infertility clinics, the biological parents don’t have an idea what to do with them (Lewin A.1). Sam Casey, executive vice president and general counsel for Advocates International, says, “People typically delay the decision, deny the decision, or run from the decision.” The decision may never be easy, but if the government assists in the decision by creating laws regarding the production of embryos per person, the decision might get easier (Beauchaine). In some countries they have a strict rule on how long the embryos can stay frozen, an adoption in which the United States should make. A state law requires specific patients to be in need of a donation unless they intend to use them all themselves. If the entire country would adapt to the laws of smaller states, the surplus amount of embryos may dwindle (Lewin A.1). The quantity of frozen embryos increases daily, and the laws regarding embryos remain irrelevant. If Congress and the United States did something to decrease the numbers of embryos just sitting around, the problem might as well have …show more content…
They wouldn’t need to travel to court just to not get an answer; it could all be found in a document. Along with open embryo adoption that stops preventable genetic family diseases to occur throughout the U.S., the biological siblings would be able to stay in contact. The satisfaction of an open embryo adoption could help for the child to understand the entire situation. Perhaps the law would play a larger role in the repurpose of frozen embryos after they are left for dead in the freezer with no mother or father. The law could play a part in the excess amount of frozen embryos found in America. Individual states may have their own laws, but to make any difference it would need to become a nation wide law. Overall, three solutions, contracts regarding frozen embryos, open embryo adoption policies, and the addition of laws containing frozen embryos, could eventually reduce or maybe solve the entire
