He said it was artificial respiration, but now I find I am to have his child.

The wish to pass something on to your children is about the most basic, human and natural aspiration there is.
We decided to try in vitro, because both Peter and I felt we couldn't handle another failure. When I miscarried after that, we had to come to terms with the possibility that this wasn't meant to be.
When I saw the embryo, I suddenly realized there was such a small difference between it and my daughters. I thought, we can't keep destroying embryos for our research. There must be another way.
From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.
I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.
The earth is bountiful, and where her bounty fails, nitrogen drawn from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the stress of war by German chemists.
When a child is born, it is immersed in an atmosphere charged with the stellar vibrations peculiar to that moment, which are stamped upon each atom of the sensitive organism by the air inhaled with the first breath.
There is no way now to get around some use of embryos. But my goal is to avoid using them.
If you are in support of in vitro fertilization, then you have to recognize that human embryos are being created in excess of what can be used safely to reimplant for a pregnancy. So they're going to end up being discarded.
I think in vitro is a miracle and it has given me my precious little baby boy.
