An ethics debate over embryos on the cheap

About an IVF program set up by Dr. Ernest Zeringue of Davis, California, which guarantees pregnancy for less than $10,000, or your money back. The catch? The embryo isn’t yours. Basically, it’s a donor program, but rather than donors and prospective parents entering into a contractual relationship with each other, they enter into a contract with Zeringue’s clinic. The article cites other fertility doctors alternately wringing their hands about the ethical gray areas Zeringue operates and touting the brave new world he is ushering in.
