It seems to be just a matter of semantics. The definition of embryo in the case of embryonic stem cell research is "the developing organism from the time of fertilization to the 8th week of gestation." They don't worry about implantation in their definition. I suppose it might help their cause to call it zygotic stem cell research, but in the end, what does it matter?
