Imperfect Design and Natural Abortions Galore
New research out of the University Fertility Center, Leuven University, Belgium, has found that -
Chromosomal problems affect nearly all human embryos.
My gosh. What is “nearly all”?
chromosomal abnormalities are present in more than 90% of IVF embryos, even those produced by young, fertile couples [IVF = couples using an in vitro fertilization procedure]
Could it be just the procedure? According to Ms Evelyne Vanneste:
Although in vitro culture conditions are known to have a limited influence on the rate of chromosomal imbalances in IVF/ICSI embryos, it is probable that the chromosome instability observed in vitro also occurs in spontaneous pregnancies since, at most, 30% of human conceptions result in a live birth and more than 50% of spontaneous abortions carry chromosomal aberrations. The high rate of chromosomal abnormalities is almost certainly responsible for the low fecundity of humans compared with other mammals.
Spontaneous abortions, or miscarriages, are very common. Seems now we better know why. Thanks to an imperfect human “design” the bodies of mothers around the world must naturally abort millions of post-conception “babies” each year.
Somebody ought to bomb the Designer. That ruthless killer.
By the way, I only advocate violence against nonexistent entities.
[...] “Intelligent Design” is always a popular subject, with science finding new information every day to poke holes in the “theory”. At The Evolving Mind, Andrew Bernardin tells us how a study involving chromosomal abnormalities demonstrates Imperfect Design and Natural Abortions Galore. [...]
