I'm confident in saying that in an infinite number of years, none of those embryos will be alive.

Your confidence is no substitute for actual proof. Since the transition is more-or-less random and unpredictable, it can be assumed an act of God that killed it... just as in the case of people in vegetative state, hooked onto support-machines, based on the earlier arguments made by the theologists here.

So you think there is an outside chance that in an infinite number of years, there will be frozen, living embryos somewhere in the universe? Say it ain't so.

Since the transition is more-or-less random and unpredictable, it can be assumed an act of God that killed it...
To address your "act of God(that you don't believe in)" bit, if the embryos are human lives, don't we have the same duty to protect them as we would a newborn? If I toss a baby out in the snow, can I claim that the near certain eventual death was caused by an act of God rather then my heaving him out into the snow?
