OK -- but the explanations I've read say it is a grave and moral evil because embryos are destroyed. If the embryos aren't destroyed, how can it still be considered a grave and moral evil?

It is a grave moral evil because conception must be within the marital act. How do you think those sperm become available for in vitro except through another grave moral evil? Embryos being destroyed afterward is just a perfect example of how evil leads to more evil.

Children have a right to be conceived as the result of their parents' expression of conjugal love in the marital act. Separating conception from the marital act results in treating kids like manufactured products (don't forget the quality control; no defective units allowed off the assembly line!!), not human beings with intrinsic dignity given them by God.

Mainly and quite simply because it is directly opposed to the divine and natural laws.
