Thousands of babies-in-waiting currently sit in frozen storage labs and clinics across the globe.
These embryos, left over from fertility treatments, are usually donated to science or destroyed. Some parents are letting others adopt their unused embryos.
Now an Australian company has decided to turn leftover IVF embryos into keepsake jewelry.
According to the parenting website Kidspot, couples are turning to Baby Bee Hummingbirds to make necklaces, bracelets and other pieces of jewelry using their remaining baby embryos.
"I don't believe there is any other business in the world that creates jewelry from human embryos, and I firmly believe that we are pioneering the way in this sacred art, and opening the possibilities to families around the world," said Amy McGlade, founder of Baby Bee Hummingbird.
The jewelry ranges in price from $80 to $600, depending on the piece.

A woman who had the company make a heart pendant told Kidspot, "We had been on a six-year journey of IVF. Finding this has brought me so much comfort and joy," she said.
"My embryos were my babies - frozen in time. Now they are forever with me in a beautiful keepsake."
The company is offering a discount for embryo ashes jewelry, saying, "We hope this will make the process more affordable and easier on families."

Abigail Dodds, a mother of five, argued that "God designed embryos to live inside a mother's womb for protection and growth."
"They are not supposed to be incinerated and hung round a mother's neck, no matter how close to the heart they hang. How do we love embryos? By allowing them to keep living and growing," she wrote.

*This is total disrespect for life and for the God who created it. It sounds noble but it's absolutely demonic.
