We've slidden so far down the slope, and are so accustomed to our convenience as the trumping factor in all decisions - even where human life is concerned - that assertions that IVF is immoral for precisely the reason you stated ("leftovers") are received with shock.

As far as your other inference - an embryo doesn't seem human because you do not interact with tiny young human beings and am therefure unaccustomed to them - it's irrelevant as far as truth proposition about the beginning of life. Having rejected conception as the beginning of human life and its associated legal rights, you are reduced to having to define some arbitrary "poof!" moment in development at which those rights are suddely conferred. This is akin to the abortion lobby's separation of "life" from "personhood" - a mangling of semantics for the express purpose of creating a logical "hole" large enough to accommodate their barbaric practice.

If an embryo had any rights, wouldn’t the most important one be the right be be born?

One last thing - I think a collection should be made for Ms. Octomom or whatever her name is becuase she had all eight of her embryos implanted. Until all you embryo defenders do that, you are just blowing wind. Put your cash where your mouths are.

Ga medic, no aplogies necessary, I think you covered what I said properly.
