The "big morality issue" you're missing is the manipulation and destruction of human life for medical research purposes. If you believe that life begins at birth, rather than conception, then doing scientific experiements on human embryos isn't going to bother your conscience any.
What really amuses me about your post is that you take it even further, concluding that the embryo is worth less than the dying "family man" as it has "no family, or home, or even guarantee of survival." Couldn't the same be said of homeless people? Clearly they're contributing less to society, so why wait until they die to harvest their organs for those "more established and loved" people who need them?
