CONFERENCE HAILS BIRTH OF MILLIONTH CHILD BY IVF
How many millions were destroyed in the process?

With IVF several embryos are created in the full knowledge that most will not survive the procedure till birth.
The New Zealand Herald reports that the first IVF child was born in the country in 1984 but now 450 children a year are born in New Zealand by IVF.
