It seems from research that

because these happen without us being aware of them, does not make them
important. If your deity is so incredibly careless and wasteful of such
sacred beings, what does it tell us about him/her/it?
[David:]
It tells us that some people die before others. I'm not sure why you should
consider that incredibly careless and wasteful: unless you value life by
its length alone.
'Cos obviously there's no grounds for thinking that the loss
of a precious, sacred life at the ball-of-a-few-cells stage
might be thought premature other than "valuing life by its
length alone".
People die at all ages, from blastocyst up to age 140. All are equally
precious. The fact of death in utero is no more difficult for the RC
doctrine than death at the age of 3 weeks, or 6 months, or 7 years, or
17 or 70.
