Dan,
Her eggs were harvested then fertilized with her husbands sperms,
this resulted in 8 embryos. Four were implanted in uterus, all 4
failed to develop and she had a miscarriage. Several month later she
had 3 more implanted and those failed to develop.
How could anyone possibly equate a miscarriage, the natural or
spontaneous end of a pregnancy at a stage where the embryo or the
fetus is incapable of surviving, as a murderous act? She didn't
willfully terminate the first 7 embryos, they failed to develop.

my response:
I am against the whole IVF process that creates excess embryos to
begin with.
On a side note, my cousin just gave birth to a son last week. He
was the result of IVF from her egg and her husband's sperm. They
had 8 viable embryos. The first 7 she did not carry full term. I'm
happy for them that the last one she was able to carry to term and
mom and son are doing fine.

This is where your argument falls apart. First you say you are
"against the whole IVF process that creates excess embryos to begin
with." And that these eggs are sacred and never should be destroyed.
But, then you say that it is wonderful that your cousin in fact
murdered 7 sacred eggs before finally becoming pregnant - and
pregnant is the operative word.
Many human eggs are fertilized but very few result in pregnancy.
Everything has to occur exactly in the right way and at the right
time for this to happen. Millions of naturally fertilized eggs never
develop into a human.
If you truly believed in your argument, then you would be disgusted
with your cousins 'murderous' behavior. Yet, you rejoice. You can't
have it both ways.
