Five-day-old eggs fertilized in a laboratory dish in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic, prior to implantation, are the primary source of blastocysts for use in stem cell research. Once they are no longer needed for reproductive purposes, these fertilized eggs can be donated for research purposes by consenting donors, rather than being discarded.
