Your fingernails COULD go on to become clones of you if they were processed and implanted in a womb. The same applies to these cells. I'm not going to pretend that there are no moral implications of destroying the cells, I think there are greater implications to doing the in-vitro fertilization in the first place.

Ha. I don't believe there have been any clones.

My fingernails do not have a soul.

Fingernails are not live cells, they are produced by Nail beds that are alive, they would contain DNA, but lots and lots of work before you can grow anything useful from them (Try starting with skin cells, or better yet adult stem cells.)
