Typically, in vitro fertilization does consist of creating a number of embryos and then... I'm aware of that. But as I said there is nothing inherent in in-vitro fertilization that requires it be done that way. Sorry, I didn't mean to complicate the question with using the word 'murder'. I guess its down to this: is it morally equivalent to a first term abortion? The actions are in many ways equivalent, but note that the majority of opposition to stem cell research is for federal funding of stem cell research, not for having the research exist at all. Its not contradictory or inconsistent to even decide that abortion should be legal (but not federally funded) and to decide that stem cell research shouldn't be federally funded.
