Alabama Supreme court has ruled that frozen embryos in fertility clinic are children and if they are destroyed by accident, someone goes to jail

Sharing is Caring!

“This ruling is stating that a fertilized egg, which is a clump of cells, is now a person. It really puts into question, the practice of IVF,…”

“”Unborn children are ‘children’ … without exception based on developmental stage, physical location, or any other ancillary characteristics,” Justice Jay Mitchell wrote in Friday’s majority ruling by the all-Republican court.”

If somebody accidentally drops a test tube or if they made a couple extras to make sure that one “took”, they are now obligated to preserve them all or be subject to wrongful death prosecution.
