They are producing embryos that are intended to be used for fertility.

I don't buy that. They know full well up front that some "life" will be destroyed. It's still creating life to destroy life.

In any case, the key for how these can be treated differently than embryos for research purposes is that they are the result of the intent to get pregnant.

Yeah, go tell that to the poor embryo that is destroyed. It's still an unwanted, surplus "person." The same is true for those who accept abortion only in cases of rape. In both cases, the born people involved may feel better about it but ethically it's the same difference for the potential person.
