ALL cells are LIVING.. but each has a purpose for sustaining life.

So the fertilized eggs that are thrown away.. no one raises protests..THOSE are the cells to be used to create new life..and give someone seriously ill..or with a chronic illness have a chance at living well.

Just another way to think about it....another way of giving life..
Those fertilized eggs could be donated to women who dont have their own eggs but have perfectly working equipment otherwise.
