The truth: Every embryo is a potential human being. Yet at least 50% of them, probably much more, depending on the age of the woman who produced the egg, are incompatible with growth beyond the 12th week of pregnancy. Most of that 50% who would not make it, don’t even make the implantation. Some make it a couple weeks, and a very few make it to 11 or 12 weeks.

No. Every embryo is a unique human being dependent on his or her mother for life. The rest is up to God, no matter the age of the mother. That doesn't matter, no matter what the secular world wants us to think.

Why did you say “no” to what I said? Nothing I said about the frailty of the human egg disputes that all embryos deserve the respect of life unless one knows they are euploid incompatible with life.

Many chromosomal abnormalities mean the embryo will NOT become a 2nd trimester baby no matter what. But we don’t know which those are, so we need to treat all embryos as if they had the capability of becoming babies.
