“Yes. Many embryos and fetuses do not survive to birth, and the ones in petri dishes that are not selected to be used for fertility implantation by the adults who harvest them, will be discarded and become dead cells, thus serving no purpose. whereas if used to heal, they will have a life-giving purpose.
To address the religious/Biblical question. "The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of live AND man BECAME a living soul." Thus I can only see that Biblical scripture states that ONLY at the moment that a human breathes on its own does the soul enter and it becomes a person.”
