Donating embryos to research

DH & I have 1 remaining embryo that we have decided we will not to return to IVF to use. We have decided to donate it to research, in the hope that in some way this may help someone else like us who were unable to achieve and hold onto a pregancy.

Has anyone else done this? How did you feel about your decision?

Personally, I like the idea. I'd much rather than than disposing of leftover embryos. Like you say, it may go some way to helping some other couples have children. DH feels differently however.
