What about the 10 blastulas/gametes still on ice? Can the couple decide to have them destroyed?

Is there any legal difference between the embryo they succesfully implant vs the 9 others that were created as backup for a 'difficult to implant' situation?

Would not the satisfied couple be guilty of murder if, having successfully birthed the desired number of embryos, ordered the destruction of the others?

Could they sell them to desirous couples to recoup the cost of storage?

Or would they be required to maintain the remaining embryos at all costs, forever, lest they be prosecuted for child abandonment?
