LurkerMom: Thank you, that’s my point.

Actually, here's the point: the University of Alabama Birmingham hospital system has paused all future IVF treatments, issuing this statement:

“We are saddened that this will impact our patients’ attempt to have a baby through IVF, but we must evaluate the potential that our patients and our physicians could be prosecuted criminally or face punitive damages for following the standard of care for IVF treatments."

So those embryos are not going to become anything more than embryos.
