So if all fertilized eggs are viable humans, then they must all be allowed (forced) to be complete the cycle into becoming a human?

Allowing does not equal forcing. And just how would you propose to do that anyway?

He's not proposing that they must all be allowed to complete the cycle. He's exploring the position of the posters who suggest that all fertilized eggs are equivalent to adult humans and the natural consequence of that position which is that they must therefore be implanted if fertilized. Otherwise any alternative course would be equivalent to 1st degree murder.

There are 2 possible final end-states for a fertilized egg: Made into a Human Being or Destruction.

Those who say that such an egg is morally equivalent to a completed human being cannot allow the destruction. Thus the only way to fulfill the moral imperative is full Humanhood for every one.
