Ok I'm not the most knowledgeable on this, why are extreme pro lifers against IVF? Is it due to scientific intervention in creating a child or because of the process itself?
The actual biological process of fertilizing an egg fails to produce a viable zygote a lot of the time. Fertilization happens but it immediately dies after. You just don't hear about it because there is no external way for a woman to know, but this is what is happening when you have anyone who has been trying to get pregnant for more than a couple months and the man isn't shooting blanks.
At the same time, successfully capturing an oocyte (egg) is difficult and harsh on the woman's body. So to ensure success, they usually harvest multiple eggs at the same time. The eggs get fertilized and they get screened for issues, and implantation involves a couple of the "best" eggs that are most likely to survive, and even then it's common for all but one to fail (even though it's still more common than in nature for multiple to survive, hence why IVF pregnancies have a relatively high rate of twins or more).
So you often end up with extras that are never going to be implanted in a uterus. There are a few choices to deal with them. 1. With parental consent, the fertilized eggs can be harvested as a source for stem cells. 2. The eggs are destroyed. 3. The eggs are permanently frozen.
Either way I'm sure there are ideological obstacles to R&D that aims to make the process less wasteful. It really is death cult, so killing shit is an objective independent of helping whores evade accountability.

Many unused embryos are discarded after successful IVF.
If you believe that life starts at conception, any embryo being discarded is seen as a murder of an unborn life.
I personally believe that life starts at the existence of a heartbeat (6 weeks) so banning IVF seems ludicrous to me.
If I believed that life starts at conception, I can see why IVF can be seen as an evil thing.
Ah so the process itself is wasteful, wonder if that's a tech level issue or by design.
It is a cost issue.
Embryos need to be frozen properly to remain viable.
It costs a lot of money to keep unused embryos frozen indefinitely.
They just discard unused embryos instead of keeping them.

This is why iui is the superior process but not as many ppl take it cause they think ivf is much more successful than it really is

It's likely because of the fickle nature of implantation. A fertilized egg might not stay in the uterus.
