Umm, no. An embryo by definition has been fertilized. Frozen embryos are people under the Mississippi initiative.
How about this example:
If there is a clear contradiction between life of mother and unborn such as in the case where a mother needs chemo to survive, will a court need to rule on which one should live or die?

Ok, fine... But you never addressed the rest of my point. If in your case scenario, I only have time to rescue the unconscious 10-year-old girl, that wouldn’t necessarily mean I value the embryos I had to leave behind any less. That’s a very poor analogy at trying to argue the case for abortion, if that’s you’re intention here, because if given the opportunity I’d probably try to save both.
And again, if you had to choose between rescuing an unconscious 10-year-old girl or unconscious 1-year-old baby boy in a fire, but not both, and you choose to save the baby, would it be fair to deduce that you value the lives of 10-year-olds or girls in general less?
