Dr. Reginald Finger Joins Spring MedSFLA Tour to Discuss Embryo Adoption

Dr. Reginald Finger of Colorado Springs will be joining Medical Students for Life on our 2013 Spring Tour. He will be speaking on the topic of Embryo Adoption.

While the popularity of in vitro fertilization continues to grow, the IVF industry is largely unregulated, controversial and many ethical questions abound. Such as: What should be done with the unused human embryos? Should couples be allowed to destroy their extra human embryos? Embryo adoption may be one alternative in saving countless lives from being discarded or destroyed in research.
