As I understand it those embryos were going to be destroyed anyway. The difference being that now they might be used to further research. It's not like the embryos were created to be destroyed for research, they're a by-product of fertility enhancing procedures.

In the interest of empathizing with the other side, here's what this sounds like if you're pro-life: "As I understand it, there were Africans who were going to die in Africa anyhow. The difference being that now we might get some use out of them. Its not like we went to Africa for the slaves, they're just a by-product of the resource exploitation."
