This isn't difficult to imagine (harvesting stem cells without destroying the embryo). Knock-out and knock-in mice are generated by injecting additional stem cells to the inner cell mass. Removing a few cells without destroying the embryo isn't harmful either.

This is ethically important. Whether the embryo is destroyed or not.
I should add, that I don't take the unspoken LDS position as the Lord's position. I think the Lord expects us to study it out and make our own prayerful decision.
And having said that, advocacy can be part of that process. You telling me what you think, and me telling you what I think.
