COUPLE EXPECTING SEPTETS WILL NOT ABORT EMBRYOS
"We Accept All the Children God Gives Us"

TRAPANI, ITALY, JULY 6 (ZENIT.org).- Mariella Mazzara, 31, and
Giovanni Pirrera, 32, a young couple from Trapani, are expecting
septets and the mother-to-be is already in the 14th week of
pregnancy. Mariella had undergone in vitro fertilization without
success. And now, totally unexpectedly, though pharmacologically
stimulated, she is pregnant without undergoing artificial
insemination.

"We accept all the children that God gives us and, if the Lord
wills, we will be given the grace to carry on with the pregnancy,
there is nothing else to say," the future father said, when
doctors suggested a reduction in the number of embryos.

"We suggested a reduction of the embryos, as there is the risk of
losing all the fetuses," doctor Salvatore Pollina explained. But
the mother rejected it.

"Who are we to decide which embryos should be eliminated? We hope
for the natural evolution of the pregnancy," she responded.

The doctor said he was optimistic, "even if the chances of
success are not great. "When I found 7 ovular chambers without
having applied any fertilization technique I froze. I hope my
surprise will continue," the gynecologist said. "This is
beautiful work, but I have often faced great failures," he said,
referring to his failed diagnostic center for the cure of
infertility.
