Perhaps embyros prefer to be used in cell research

Many have been stored, will not be used, and subsequently will be destroyed. If these embryos are sentient and have a soul, is it possible that they might prefer to be used in the search for cures for some of the most miserable diseases suffered by their fellow humans rather than simply being destroyed?

If I were a sentient frozen embryo, I certainly would prefer to be of some use in research to help the afflicted rather than be disposed of with the trash.

I feel the owners of those embryos should have the legal right to make that decision for them.

    “If I were a sentient frozen embryo, ”

    Is this like the poem IF I were a tree?

    If I were a tree I’d be upset at being naked during the coldest part of the year.
