because if they weren't frozen, they would deteriorate - accumulate mutations, get damaged by their own waste metabolites etc. In frozen state, they do not metabolize or grow, thus they are free of these negative effects.

What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
Should frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization be used to create stem cells?
Most scientists agree that frozen embryos created through in vitro fertilization should be used to create stem cells, although many people are against it because of their religious views.
