Fertilization is a very important aspect in human life. Without fertilization the human being cannot reproduce and no offspring will be produced. This means that the human race will be completely wiped out in a century or so. So, when there is a problem in human fertility, it is very important to have a solution to overcome this problem. In vitro fertilization is one of the assisted reproductive technologies. Technically, it's not a technology. It is the procedure to help people who have not been able to have a child for various reasons. The main reason why couples are unable to have children is infertility. Infertility in humans is already a common thing. According to 2010 World Health Organization research, 48.5 million couples were unable to have children due to infertility. This is a very large number and needs a solution. Therefore, IVF was the solution for these people. It is now the main treatment to cure infertility for humans.

There are already lives behind those embryos and throwing them away is equivalent to killing them. Additionally, people have objected to clinics that destroy frozen embryos because they are the property of the owner. It is the owner's (in this case the donor's) decision to determine what will happen to the embryos. There are people who have feelings towards their embryos. Especially for the donor who goes through many processes to create those embryos. One donor said in an interview that many people put emotion and effort into producing embryos. Embryos matter because they are special to the people who donated them and it's just a personal feeling. For this reason they do not accept the elimination of their embryos.
