;
without arranging for the disposition of two of the woman's fertilized ova in
;
frozen storage has renewed debate over the legal and moral aspects of in vitro
;
fertilization. Experts doubt that the zygotes are still viable, but questions
;
have been raised about their legal status, their inheritance rights, and the
;
possibility of implanting them in the womb of a surrogate mother. Disposition of
;
unused fertilized eggs in the United States is currently governed by informal
;
guidelines, although a public consensus on the issues raised by new and future
;
reproductive technologies has not been attained.
