It's a slippery slippery slope, folks. Just degrees of death in the end.
Personally I don't have a problem with the rejection of certain embryos. To me they are not people yet, and it's hard to justify that what "could be" SHOULD be. I have the reproductive capability to have billions of children already if every one of my sperm were to be implanted in an egg. Just because they have the potential to be something doesn't mean they are anything yet, and they should be treated as such.
As long as humans put their own interests first, we'll continue to hear stories that seem controversial at first, then become more and more accepted. I bet in less than 15 years it'll be a regular option for invitro fertilization (if you want to choose that is).
