What is 
an embryo?

Embryo is a vague term. What is actually frozen in IVF procedures is, at most, a blastocyst comprising a few hundred cells, which does not, from any  evidence-based perspective, have  any of the specific attributes that make us  human. Such unused embryos are not unique to IVF: between 40%-60% of fertilized eggs fail to implant.

This is an actual picture of five blastocysts from an IVF procedure. They are not extrauterine humans, they are clusters of barely differentiated cells.
