Embryo Jewelry? Catholics React to Frozen Children Encased in Necklaces and Rings

Sounding the alarm on the 'dystopian' bling.

Catholics on social media have been sounding the alarm on a chilling new trend: turning embryos into jewelry.

Embryos — frozen children — who are no longer wanted by a family are literally killed to then become an adornment a woman can wear to mark a life that was snuffed out.

The Catholic Church has long condemned the IVF process and the production of these embryos, but those warnings have gone unheeded, and there are now an estimated 1 million frozen embryos in the U.S. alone — giving rise to profound and continuing moral dilemmas, including this disturbing fad of embryo jewelry that has been around since 2017.

Lila Rose of Live Action recently brought attention to the “dystopian” bling.

Ok.

This is just...

odd.

Perhaps it is just one of those Internet deepfakes we hear so much about.

I will take a closer look (so you, dear reader, don't have to)

{Time passes}

Yeah,

no, these guys are real, and it's worse than you think.

They make keepsake jewelry out of all manner of human based things: breastmilk, placenta, umbilical cord, ashes.

It's a thing.

Keepsake Jewellery at its finest
Blossom Keepsake specialises in crafting beautiful jewellery, designed to be cherished across generations. Each piece is handcrafted, transforming breastmilk, ashes, umbilical cord, embryo, placenta, and hair into unique stones to create modern heirlooms.

It's also not really expense.

If you're interested.

(Although these guys are base in Australia, and 50% Tariffs may apply, or not, who can tell, it changes daily)

I know of a professor who's SIL had her brother's ashes in a necklace, IIRC.

It's not my personal preference. Maybe it helped her grieve?

Well,

I'm willing to roll with it, it just seems odd.

Sort of like when (a thousand years ago) Billy Bob Thornton and Angelia Jolie had small vials of each other blood on necklaces.

Romantic? Well, I can see it.

But odd?

Definitely.

(Upon reflection - that whole marriage was a little off)

You no longer forbid voluntary cremation I take it?

By the way, in keeping with Roman Catholic ethics wouldn’t the best approach be to ban the making of new embryos and instead implant all of the embryos presently in storage? That seems to me like it would correct the current grotesque violation of the natural order.

It allows it in some cases as long as the ashes are buried. Spreading ashes, jewelry and such are forbidden.

Agreed. Odd indeed.

Bodily burial is ALWAYS preferred, but cremation is allowed.

Can't do it.

Too claustrophobic. Too Northern.

I'm a Northern Tier residence with a lifetime of experience with the cold. And I live it, but I know how brutal it is and I'm not spending years in a tight coffin with my butt frozen to the silk lining.

"Burn my body in the broad daylight and scatter my ashes in the dead of night".

Let me blow in the wind.
