Embryo adoption explored at Lifetree Café program

The adoption and implantation of human embryos will be discussed at Lifetree Café at noon on Monday, Jan. 9.

The program — titled “Playing God: Is Science Going Too Far?” — features a filmed interview with Ron Stoddart, an adoption attorney and embryo adoption advocate.

“An embryo is human life at its earliest stage of development,” Stoddart says. “The real question is at what stage does that life deserve and have special protection under the law.”

During the program, participants will have the opportunity to discuss whether embryo adoption is a viable adoption choice or a form of playing God.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Kokanee Coffee, 509 N. Fifth Ave., Sandpoint.
