Alright, to play the devil's advocate: the vast, vast majority of eggs that are sold are unfertilized, candled, and taken before there's any real chance of a visible embryo forming, even if they have been fertilized; and I don't think that even for the few fertilized eggs that do get sold and eaten, that an unnoticeably tiny bunch of stem cells could properly be called "meat", anyways.

Alright, to play God's advocate: every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great! If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate! And an egg is just a big lady sperm!
