What should be done with unwanted frozen embryos?

The answer is obvious, we should turn them into a crack force of elite fighter pilots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI7jrnvVMak

Steven Pinker, the MIT linguist, makes an interesting point in one of his books. He says our brains are hard-wired to recognize the difference between live things and not-alive things at a very deep level, so we have a very hard time imagining that there could be something in a third category.

Hence the fight over “when does life begin?” – at conception, or when brain impulses start, or at birth – depending mostly on your politics.

When actually, he says, an embryo/fetus is partially alive and partially not-alive, gradually becoming more and more alive and less and less not-alive until the moment of birth.

I fail to understand the argument of when life began,Life is a passed on thing,it goes back eons ago, and if one believes in Genesis it began thousands of years ago. The same life that is in a man’s sperm is also human life so each ejaculation means many human lifes are lost even if there is a conception.
