[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The facts of the original case are beyond bizarre and seem like some bad movie. A “patient” at a fertility clinic “eloped” and broke into the room that stored frozen embryos, broke into the storage and grabbed several frozen embryos (in their containers) with their bare hands. Since that was basically a serious freezer, the eloper’s hands were severely burned immediately from the freezing metal and so the eloper dropped all of the embryos he/she was carrying and them broke onto the floor. When the breach was discovered the frozen embryos essentially had died.

So this was a joint lawsuit from 3 of the affected families who lost embryos for “unlawful death”. [/quote]

Sounds like a fake incident setup by rightwingers to bring the case to the court solely for the purposes of a de-facto ban on IVF. This was all planned in advance.[/quote]

I don't think so. Originally these were separate cases involving three families but the court consolidated them. Each family lost multiple embryos. It sounds like some freak occurrence. You can collect the most money via punitive damages and the only way in this case to get punitive is under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Child Act and to qualify you must prove it was a child. So assuming the parents wanted to get the most damages, this is the way to go. Whether some special interest group was involved I don't know and couldn't find out.[/quote]
I think after some digging we’re going to find out that this “freak occurrence” was carefully planned. The goal is to get this to SCOTUS. Well really the goal is to stop single women, lesbians and gays w/surrogates from having kid.[/quote]
