I really liked what Rep. Diana DeGette said in debate (yes, as an unemployed and politically aware citizen, I now include CSPAN in my daytime viewing; one can only take so much People's Court!). This is a paraphrase: There are currently three options that a couple undergoing IVF can make with regard to their embryos. They can keep the embryo for further use by themselves, they can donate the embryos to other couples, or they can be destroyed. This law only gives the couples a fourth option. They would be able to donate the embryos for stem cell research.
