Dporebski20: Segregate is not a word. Surrogate is the word for a female that has an embryo implanted inside her body, who is not the mother of the egg.

-'''In vitro Fertilization''', or '''IVF''' is a technique of creating [[life]] by fertilizing an [[egg]] outside the [[human]] [[body]], thus creating a [[zygote]]. In the US, in vitro fertilization can only be performed for the express purpose achieving [[pregnancy]], wherein the zygote is allowed to grow for several days in vitro, thus becoming an embryo, which is implanted in a woman (typically the mother, but sometimes a segregant is used). This procedure is used when traditional [[pregnancy]] cannot be achieved.

Thus, in the typical IVF procedure, many eggs must be fertilized and those embryos that are not implanted are often [[death|killed]] or cryogenically preserved for a short time and later used in future implantations or ultimately destroyed. Instead of killing these embryos, [[conservatives]] have created a program for these embryos to be adopted by new parents, sometimes over the objections of liberals and parent's rights groups who believe the parents have the right to do with their embryos as they please (i.e. kill them).
