Questions Covered:

20:24 – What are the reasonable limits to sustaining a pregnancy, such as the case you were discussing vs embryos conceived in IVF?
30:03 – Regarding the Georgia situation, since keeping dead person vitals going a new technology, would this be done only at the consent of the mother? Would that solve the dilemma?
34:59 – I have a 13-year-old son. We were told that at 14 we would be asked to leave the room for our son to decide if he wanted to make his own medical decisions alone with the doctor. Are you familiar with this situation and would this be ethical?
44:19 – Would it be ethical to implant a frozen embryo in a woman who is 60 years of age knowing that the pregnancy would probably not be viable?
