6:39 pm
a huge knock on freedom of expression in japan and we have had a situation in recently the. exodus edition that when that was recently censored and seems like another part of that tree censored and seems like another part of that trend and i'm concerned that this might become. something that trends and i'm concerned that this might become. something that continues to happen and so for future films in the future are working continues to happen and so for future films in the future our work may be censored if they don't. may be censored if they don't align with the government's views on certain issues

6:49 pm
treated as a legal person precisely for those concerns over what that would mean for procreative rights and the rights of privacy owns over what that would mean for procreative rights and the rights of privacy and i discussed this sensitive story with a former judge joseph's a kohler and women and i discussed this sensitive story with a former judge joseph's a cola and women's rights advocate reese everson i think they did it the right way because in this particular instance when did barely know when this this couple went to the queen's rights advocate to reese everson. i think they did it the right way because in this particular instance when this family or when these this couple went to the clinic to you know do in vitro fertilization they signed a contract agreeing to limit to you know do in vitro fertilization they signed a contract agreeing to destroy the embryos if they decided to divorce and even when we used to destroy the embryos if they decided to divorce and even when we use the
6:50 pm
term pre-embryo and i understand the court used that term it's really semantic gymnastics it's to term pre-embryo and i understand the court used that term it's really semantic gymnastics it's just another designation to try to dehumanize what's human there are thousands and just another designation to try to dehumanizing what's human there are thousands and thousands of these human embryos in these clinics all around the country thousands of these human embryos in these clinics all around the country and people know what to do with them and it seems to me a commonsense approach should be why don't we give the people in a what to do with them and it seems to me a commonsense approach should be why don't we give those children up for adoption to couples who want them let's just give that child to someone who has children up for adoption to couples who want them let's just give that child to someone else let's think about that in the larger scheme of things you're basically telling a mother now let's think about that in the larger scheme of things you're basically
6:51 pm
telling a mother i'm going to give your child away and let someone else raise your child frankly i think i'm going to give your child away and let someone else raise your child frankly i think it's offensive to the mother to say i'm going to take the exits are offensive to the mother to say i'm going to take the egg that you 'd created that she wanted to raise and give it to someone else and allow them to raise that you created that she wanted to raise and give it to someone else and allow them to raise a child that you haven't decided to create no. but he's forcing anyone to do anything with a child that you haven't decided to create nobody's forcing anyone to do anything with the end result of what you know my colleague the argument she's the end result of what you know my colleague the argument she's making is it's better to destroy the embryo than allow someone else to raise it a king is it's better to destroy the embryo than allow someone else to raise it it
6:52 pm
just seems to me that there's no harm to anyone allowing the father to take it and don't just seems to me that there's no harm to anyone allowing the father to take it and donate it there are federal programs known federal centers that allow couples to coronated there are federal programs known federal centers that allow couples to quote unquote adopt these she would embryos and then use them in implantation and allow the child in court adopt the she would embryos and then use them in implantation and allow the child to grow people have the right to decide and bright on paper how they want their to grow people have the right to decide and write on paper how they want their embryos treated if they divorce and that's the right way to go we cannot straight embryos treated if they divorce and that's the right way to go we cannot stray from their decision at that time if we do we allow these contract to mean that the from their decision at that time if we do we allow
6:53 pm
these contract to mean absolutely nothing if we look at this strictly as a contractual matter i think that really legally nothing if we look at this strictly as a contractual matter i think that really leans more toward leans more toward seeing the human embryo is just a piece of property and and i mean smore toward leans more toward seeing the human embryo is just a piece of property and and i just don't agree with that why can't we err on the side of life again this is not a question of where we just don't agree with that why can't we err on the side of life again this is not a question of where there's an egg and a sperm that haven't been combined. they've been combined a human embryo has been 4 there's an egg and a sperm that haven't been combined they've been combined a human embryo has been formed you know human life begins at conception there's conception and then there's pretty warm you know human life begins at conception there's conception and then there's preconception and what the court decided absolutely correct in this case was that your conception and what the court decided
6:54 pm
absolutely correct in this case was that these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes you have the egg if these embryos are pre-conception yes you have the sperm and yes you have the egg and yes they have combined to create an embryo i think it's absolutely asinine its troops and yes they have combined to create an embryo i think it's absolutely asinine it strips the right of the what of the woman one woman and the mother mother father or or either by their parents frankly plea to to create you create a child a child that these 2 parents are saying we don't want this child to exist why do we have that these 2 parents are saying we don't want this child to exist why do we have to destroy it what is the public policy in favor of that that's my problem of to destroy it what is the public policy in favor of that that's my problem for existing without international colleagues on a local will be here with updates on our top stories for you in the facts as they
