Lifeship One  (idea #129)
Date: 2004-11-03 
Category: Technology / Biomedical
Price: Free
Target Audience: Private satellite/rocketry companies, in conjunction with fertility clinics

Description: In today's career-first world, people of all faiths are using fertility clinics to help them be fruitful and multiply, and countless loving couples have been blessed with beautiful children as a result. But what about the forgotten, "extra" embryos that in-vitro fertilization procedures inevitably create? According to a recent article in Politics and the Life Sciences, (paraphrased), some of these unborn innocents are murdered immediately, some are banished indefinitely to freezers, and some are sacrificed for clinical training and scientific research. Lifeship One offers a more heavenly alternative. The foundation systematically rescues "extra" embryos from IVF clinics, places them in a protective capsule, and then shoots them into space via rocketship. Freed from the unsure world of freezers and power grids, these microscopic refugees can travel in a perfectly frozen state forever. And then, if there is any love in the universe, some compassionate, nurturing force will intercept this spaceship of hope and its precious cargo, and raise each angelic soul to its full, God-given potential. Believe it will happen! Because the alternative would be impossible to bear.
