but some anti-abortionist consider a life to start at conception, these IVF embryos are fertilized, they're just not implanted. so is it at fertilization or implantation that destroying it becomes 'murder' as anti-abortionists call it?

also, what do you think of just freezing them indefinitely? is that better than destroying them? how?

This is a very hard one for me- in fact the entire abortion debate is. I am a democrat and a liberal as a rule, but I am as pro-life as an educated person can be I think.
I believe life begins at conception, so yes in every sense of the term destroying IVF embryo is abortion. (You can look the term up in any dictionary; '...the arrested development of an embryo or an organ at a more or less early stage.')
It is the exactly the same as ending a potential pregnancy with the RU-487 or 'Morning After' pill. It is an abortion in the clinical and medical sense. It is not, by any means, dragging an established life out of a womb.
Do I have a moral issue with it? On a level. One way or the other- no matter how you argue it- it is a human life in its most basic level. I have a problem with knowingly ending any human life.
However, do I attribute it to murder? No.
(Now I am going to stray off topic here just slightly)
Even Pro-Life activists need to realize that abortion MUST be legal up to a point. I have no problem with the 'morning after' pill. and would not raise high objections to abortion in the first 30 days. I simply can not stand behind the practice of stopping a human heart from beating, no matter how reliant it may be on another.

No, these embryos have not implanted yet. This is common in regular reproduction that embryos that have not implanted are dispelled. There are just too many embryos left over to give them all a chance. But I would feel bad about throwing them away. I think embryo adoption is a good alternative!

No, IVF embryos are quite some cells. Tissue. I once accidently cut back off some epidermis from my finger and threw it away. became "that" an abortion? unclear. Anti-abortionists may have you ever have self assurance your morning bowel move became an abortion. homicide is a word it truly is thrown round lots by extremists and psychotic those who won't be able to settle for a lady'S ideal to settle on. Killing medical doctors is o.k., by. enable's save it in perspective, ideal? :-P don't love abotions? Dont' have one.

Of course. In both cases, innocent human beings are killed. Religion aside, embryology textbooks agree that life begins at fertilization:

By the time implantation occurs, the newly conceived human being is already 5-9 days old. At all stages of our development (zygote, embryo, fetus, infant, toddler, etc.), we are living, growing, human beings.

no. an embryo is just a few cells. it would be the same thing as being upset because you got a bloody nose or scratch and you're killing blood cells and skin cells.

no, it is nothing at all like abortion. it is a tiny little clump of frozen cells without a home. what is the point of saving them , if you are not going to implant them .

Keeping them frozen forever (which I dont think can be done) and destroying them is no different. There still wont be a baby no matter what.

I don't think so, " I KNOW SO!"
Here in America after Killing 35-Million Babies by Abortion we Now Kill them DURING BIRTH, and Harvest Stem Cells, during a Procedure called Partial Birth Abortion! [9th Month]
(Genesis 4:9-10) And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
(Gen 4:10) And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
The Blood of those 35-Million Killed Babies CRIES OUT TO GOD ABOUT OUR NATION!
Thanks, RR
