I am talking about your dead 25 year old relative. Would you let them harvest organs or not?

How is that different than a dead human just hours old after conception?

An unimplanted zygote is dead. It is not going anyplace.

Wm, there is a HUGE difference between an implanted zygote and an unimplanted zygote. One has a future and the future for the other has stopped as of the moment in time that the implantation did not occur. It’s life is over.

How is donating that organ different than donating a kidney for the dead 25 year old?

No, it's not dead until it's dead. You know, when cellular function stops and it can no longer implant.

A zygote doesn't transition from death to life at implantation. Unless you are claiming that implantation is really abiogenesis in action?

To be more accurate, your analogy would have to include birthing the 25 year old for the sole purpose of having a source of organs in the future. The analogy cannot be applied without clarification to in vitro derived embryonic individuals and therefore breaks down if you are trying to refer to unknown embryos passed from the feamle body without or soon after implantation.
