Often, couples decide to harvest more eggs than they plan to use, which means that some of the embryos end up being destroyed, or frozen for later use.
Isn’t the answer that would bring IVF into sync with Christian values contained in this sentence?
The IVF clinic should not fertilize more eggs than it will implant. Then, the eggs, not embryos, can be frozen if later attempts are needed. If not, then the eggs, not embryos, can be ethically discarded just as they are in a natural female menstrual cycle.
Yes, this will add more expense to the process, but not that much more. I doubt the cost of the technician who fertilizes the eggs is that expensive.

This.
