As reproductive technology advanced, headlines announcing "Couple Battles over Frozen Embryos" became more and more commonplace. For example, in the 1980s a man went to court and succeeded in preventing his ex-wife from using their frozen embryos to become pregnant. He maintained that after he and his wife had divorced, he no longer wanted to become a parent, and should not be forced to do so against his will.
In 1998, a divorced woman in New Jersey won a legal battle with her ex-husband over custody of seven frozen embryos the couple had created in vitro while still married. The wife wanted to have the embryos destroyed, while the ex-husband argued his right to adopt his own embryos to be implanted in a future partner or donated to an infertile couple.
(a) In your opinion, should frozen embryos be considered property to be awarded during a divorce? Why or why not?
(b) Should a man who loses custody of frozen embryos in a lawsuit be responsible for child support if his ex-wife is implanted with the embryos and becomes pregnant at a later date? Explain your answer.
(c) Should the husband or wife who wins custody of frozen embryos be allowed to destroy them, against the wishes of the ex-husband or ex-wife? Why or why not?

1-In my opinion, they should not be the property of the components of the divorce, at a certain point they are the ones that contribute the genetics, but I think that they would have to remain in the hands of the state in a stand-by position or for the country's own scientific research.

2-No, since losing custody does not mean that you do not have the right to decide whether or not you want to keep those embryos in the future.

The causes of divorce are sometimes very limited, which the couple did not work and had great conflicts, I think that the woman implants the embryos, implants a male genetics that does not belong to her, forcing her ex-husband to support them.

Yes, I think it is very correct that she wants to implant embryos after separation but with a genetic load that is alien to her ex-husband.

Otherwise, if there is no other option in the marriage certificate, when they decided to be husband and wife, it would be good for this fundamental point to be clarified and for people to decide on this responsibility in the future in case of divorce.

3-No, since once a couple divorces, they separate and have no more relationship, with which it seems very absurd to allow the one who stays with the embryo to decide for himself or herself in a vengeful or damaging way ex partner.

In this way the ties will not be completely cut, the problems will continue, they will probably build the psyche of these embryos (future children) in a fighting environment, discussion complicating their cognitive development.

In addition to my simple opinion, I believe that embryos are not properties, not simple material things, but were life plans, with which their appropriation as integral materials is a very delicate subject.

I believe that the most correct thing is that they serve the utility of the evolution and advancement of the state, in science, health, or other branches.

Explanation:

These topics of discussion are considered very delicate in the field of health, or science, since when imposing certain rules there are rights on the part of the divorced couple that will not be fulfilled, also taking into account that it is very difficult to assign them. rights to a frozen embryo or maintain some respect for both parties.

In my opinion, it would be a solution to encourage divorces once they are processed, not to be granted power in common, nor to keep them united to both parties, a decision which does not coincide completely together, since sometimes this leads to problems of violence, bad education, depression, social inactivity, etc.
