But they are the only way to get certain types of stem cells. "Embryonic" Stem cells. The best, most flexible ones. The ones that hold the most potential benefit. There are things that other (adult) stem cells just can't do. Yes we are having success with the other types. But they will never work in other areas.
It is like asking "Is it OK to only cure certain diseases?".
Which diseases should we decide to intentionally ignore and instead flush those extra already existing fertilized eggs down the drain? That it is better to intentionally waste them than to use them for incredibly benefitial purposes!
