F/U to NYT Article on SR for Twins

Slate's Will Saletan (on whom I may have a brain crush) wrote this response:  https://www.slate.com/id/2301322/?wpisrc=newsletter_slatest

 

Here is the point that I so inelegantly was trying to articulate in my response below:

 "Reduction destroys this distinction. It combines, in a single pregnancy, a wanted and an unwanted fetus. In the case of identical twins, even their genomes are indistinguishable. You can't pretend that one is precious and the other is just tissue. You're killing the same creature to which you're dedicating your life."

    Can't do a "thumbs-up" from my phone, but this definitely gets one!
    After 20 months TTC with PCOS, we were blessed with twins!
    They arrived at 36 weeks after PTL and bedrest for 14 weeks. Lilypie Third Birthday tickers image
