It would be interesting if people actually understood that these 'embryos' are not 'fetuses' and the products of IVF clinics are blastocysts I don't think the majority of the public even understands the process of embryogenesis. I stumbled upon your site by accident and really enjoy what I have read so far. I too started a PhD program in the sciences with the plan of being an academic but ran far far away. However, I left with my MS, not the PhD, despite 5 years of a hellish ordeal. Keep writing.
