You know, the usual:
- Yes, I know what IVF is
- Yes, I know what you're going to do to me
- Yes, I know that it might not work
- Yes, I'm aware of alllll of the reasons it might not work
- Yes, I know there might be multiples
- Yes, I know progesterone-in-oil must go in the butt.
- Yes, I know there are risks
- No, we don't want genetic testing
- Yes, we want to freeze remaining embryos
- In the event of one or both our deaths, the embryos will go to.... wait. What?
- One or both our deaths or incapacitation
- Separation or Divorce
- Not using all available embryos
- Change in Wife's physical condition which will render her incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term
- Breech of contract
I was just initialing my whole way through there until I got to that part. There's all kinds of things you can to do your embryos - transfer "custody" of embryos to a third party agent, transfer custody to a needful married couple, transfer custody for disposal, transfer custody to medical research, or grant sole custody to one or the other.
We're talking about itty bitty blastocyst babies here.
I promptly text Jeff and said, "Uh, hey, this is kinda heavy I think Imma wait til you get home tonight, mkay?"
Yep. Just signing the lives away of our yet-uncreated children.
That's a weird thought.
