I think it makes a difference whether they are actually weeding out unwanted embryos or whether they are simply creating the best ones they can to begin with. It's natural to want a physically and mentally healthy child, and if that takes genetic manipulation, so be it. But in this case, they couldn't just fertilize a female embryo, they had to make several and then destroy the ones they didn't want. While I'm not necessarily against abortion, I can understand why people would have a problem with that.
