“As there is no prohibition on the sale of human embryos, they may be valued and sold, and thus may be considered ‘goods or chattels,” the judge says.

But, there are prohibitions on the sale of human beings; they may not be sold for value, or considered to be goods or chattel.

Therefore, embryos are not human beings, per legal ruling. Run with it.
