Fertility clinics tend to fertilize like 20 eggs when going for 1 to implant in a womb. They usually keep the other 19 frozen incase a women wants a child but doesn't have a man to get the sperm from and she doesn't care if the child isn't born from her egg. The other 19 are rarely ever used. They then end up just being destroyed.

In these cases, is it okay to use those embryos (if that is what it is called at this point) to treat someone's failing heart or something like that? I personally think that if they were going to be destroyed anyways that it is better to use them to help someone.

I ask your opinions because a few months ago, they found out there are something like 400 000 frozen embryos (or whatever its called at that stage) in the United States, by far the most in any country. They are all from fertility clinics and the majority of them were going to be destroyed because it is expensive to keep them frozen.
