Absolutely Disgusted

Doesn't this seem like a tremendous waste of resources?

There were a lot of actual people who needed help at this point. I get why people would be concerned about their embroyos, but this is ridiculous. From CNN:

Baby from embryo rescued after Katrina due this month

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- The baby album for Rebekah Markham's soon-to-be-born child could include something extra special: photos of officers using flat-bottomed boats to rescue her frozen embryo from a sweltering hospital in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

When this happened, there were some major problems still going on in New Orleans involving human being. But wealthy white people get special resources allocated for them to get a second child.
