This "embryo" really is no such thing, since there's virtually no potential for an independent life to develop from it. "This embryo" is an embryo and that's why they remove embryonic stem cells from 'it' for experimentation. To make this individual life 'fair game' for harvesting body parts (stem cells are the body parts of the embryo) because it is a deformed individual is no better (morally, from the standpoint of society conveying protection for embryonic lives) than using predictably normal embryos.
