in this case, the living fetus involved may be created by the scientist himself/herself by fertilizing reserved human eggs with human sperm. However the fetus has been created, the ethical issue centers upon the question of whether a human fetus is a human being and is, thus, covered by the principle of not taking human life. The creation of a human fetus from reserved eggs and sperm is commonplace, today, but most of these are implanted in a woman's uterus where "nature takes its course" and
not require any kind of surgery. When undergoing this, the woman is put under a local anesthesia and an ultra sound machine is used to locate the eggs. After all of this the eggs are retrieved by placing a needle through the vagina wall. (IVF.com, 2005) The man is then asked to give a sperm donation after withdrawing from sex for a few days.

When given orders to rummage around the countryside for food for the troops, Richthofen replied, “My dear Excellency! I have not gone to war in order to collect cheese and eggs, but for another purpose” (Perry).
