As far as I understand it, more embryos are created than required. These are then either destroyed or frozen. The creation and destruction of human embryos, or their suspension in a frozen state are serious moral and ethical questions.
The majority of frozen embryos are eventually used by the couple who created them or donated to those who are infertile. I have a close friend who has been blessed by two children from donated embryos. The kinds of people seeking out IVF as a way to conceive are the kinds of people we want raising children (at least 99+%). Successful, employed, educated, and trying desperately to have children). I personally would join trump in advocating for more IVF.
The IVF process is used by infertile couples to produce children. The product of IVF, the embryo, is an extrauterine child. Therefore, the ruling is correct. Any embryo left suspended in a frozen state, even a single one, is still a living human being trapped in a state of limbo.
https://www.statnews.com/2024/02/22/alabama-frozen-embryo-ruling-threatens-ivf-clinics/ This article, from the pro-ivf camp, admits many more “fertilized eggs” are made than implanted. Such an “egg” is an embryo. (But these are the people who claim a “fetus” is not a child.) These excess “fertilized eggs” are then frozen or destroyed. Semantic redefinition is how clinicians deceive (e.g. the mRNA serum does not equal vaccine without the redefinition.)

The destruction or freezing of unused embryos exhibits Utilitarianism, which has given us all the great crimes against humanity in the Modern age.
Do you mean eggs instead of embryos?

No.
My mistake. Sorry.
