RIGHT TO LIFE

Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of people who are frozen in this state if not millions. It is a horrible sin that they were created in the first place. There is no easy or good answer for what can be done in this situation. Most of these people will simply be let to die or decompose in frozen state because their bodies can't stay that way forever before they break down.

None
