if frozen embryos are human beings, why are they not counted in the population census? Saying frozen embryos are persons is like treating a seed as a fully grown plant, it is not one yet until it finishes the processes of development.
Illegal aliens, who are also human beings ( though nasty ones ) are also not counted in the census. This is a false dilemma.

“not counted in the census”
The U.S. Constitution mandates a count of the population every ten years, known as the decennial census, and does not differentiate between citizens and non-citizens.
You're not a human being but you’re somehow still counted on the census. So, your point is automatically null and void.

It's both depressing and hilarious at the same time to see someone who is so completely uneducated on a topic that all he/she can do is to throw around catty, low-IQ insults in order to make himself feel better about his own stupidity. Calling people non-human is not an argument my friend.

If Frozen Embryo's are "children" with the rights of a person, there can be little to no IVF, as much IVF involves selective reduction, wherein implanted, viable embryo's are removed/destroyed to increase the viability of other embryos.

What else would an embryo be? The "clump of cells" argument no more applies to an embryo than to a coma or life support patient. It is fully recognized that when one terminates life support or kills a coma patient, they are ending a human life, despite a lack of consciousness or viability. The lack of current brain capacity does not meet the legal definition of brain death in any reasonable sense.

Ascribing personhood to an embryo is a dishonest way of banning it. If you want to ban the practice just say that. Don't be a coward. You are against the science of aiding women in a pregnancy they would otherwise not be able to have.
