30 embryos created for every baby born by IVF

Hundreds of thousands have been simply thrown away or destroyed in the name of scientific research over the past 20 years. The figures show that British scientists have created more than three million human embryos by IVF since 1991. But fewer than 100,000 have been successfully implanted into women to result in live births in that period. Nearly a million and a half were discarded in the course of treatment and more than 100,000 were given for research in destructive experiments.

Lord Alton of Liverpool, a veteran pro-life campaigner, said he found the Department of Health figures ‘staggering.’ He said: ‘We are creating and destroying human embryos on an industrial scale.’ Daily Mail
