zygote not embryo. The value WE humans place on human life is an evolutionary, special (as on species), instinctual one. Our ethical considerations are not limited to sentient humans in equal measure to sentience in non human life forms. We have an inbuilt ethical duty to uphold the interest of a fellow human, for natural reasons. Our interest in special continuation.
There is no directive/ prescriptive external responsibility for this. We make our own. Every situation would require our most sensitive judgement.
To me the above is obvious and shouldn't need stating. And I really hope once more that I've answered this illusive question of yours.
Likewise, I need you to explain how you can justify detachment from your humanity. How can you consider what you know it's a potential human life worthless? How do you detach all knowledge of what you know this will become and be so cold and heartless?
