Subject: "Embryo Cryonics" a Devious Diversion

I read these posts in amazement, that any cryonicist would advocate the 
diversion of important resources from the needs of entities with 
established individuality and identity, to some perceived need of 
embryos.  But then I do not seriously consider embryos to have developed to 
the point of having sentience; is it really important to give them a chance 
at reanimation so they can become human beings?  Personally I think that 
Terra is already overpopulated, thank you.

With those thoughts in mind, it occurs to me that folks such as "Human 
Screener" may not be what they seem.  The particular ilk of religious nut 
who thinks embryos have souls like human babies supposedly do, would find 
consistency in trying to divert cryonics organizations from staying on 
track, as in most cases they also believe immortality already is covered 
via soul survival and there is no real need for cryonics anyway; in fact, 
it may be an affront to the will of God.

So has Human Screener even told us why he/she thinks embryos are worthy of 
and should be cryopreserved?  If so, I missed it.  I didn't see it in the 
footnotes.
