Alabama’s controversial IVF ruling means that embryos are children | The Excerpt



The ethical and legal issues of IVF, or in vitro fertilization, are complicated. For many, IVF is more than a medical procedure; it’s about the profound desire for parenthood. Each year, IVF contributes to around 100,000 births nationwide. In a recent decision, the Alabama Supreme Court described embryos as, “embryonic children…kept alive in a cryogenic nursery.” In other words, frozen embryos are children. Lindsay Heller, an IVF mom and partner at the law firm Fox Rothschild LLP in New Jersey, joins us to discuss how this decision might impact IVF patients and providers across the country.

  1. Does that mean an 18 year old petri dish can vote?

  2. If the Republicans keep passing legislation to steal women's rights to make their own reproductive health decisions we will have 2 Americas: One free for women & One the Handmaiden's Tale.

  3. First, Alabama so goes all the other Republican controlled states.

  4. No matter what laws are made by man good or bad, God wins in the end and man has to face their personal actions in the afterlife irrespective of things being legal or not.

  5. who were the folks who filed? Are they thrilled they stopped others from doing what they did?

  6. They sure did change their tune. I wonder if men protested because the law effects men who want children but can not have them any other way.

  7. If you're in Alabama, DON'T put babies in the freezer. A religion could turn IVF embryos into children but NOT the other way around.

  8. Google " are frozen embryos non-binary?" ❤

  9. 🤨 are humans getting raised in farms so we could all have enough humans yake science also selling human organs and implants for everyone………….do you see the sickness

  10. ADD them to your state taxes as dependents!!

  11. It has absolutely nothing to with being pro life!! Its all about control 👈

  12. So my children are the same as embryos?

  13. Welcome to the Idiocracy.

  16. Not an entire child … .missing the egg that makes it child!😢

  17. Imagine calling wanting to save unborn babies "controversial" but NOT advocating aborting (killing) them, sometimes up until birth….
