[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me out here… I have (successfully) gone through IVF so know that after egg harvesting attempts are made to fertilise all the eggs gathered. Then the embryo(s) most likely to be viable are identified and implanted into the mother’s womb. Is Alabama saying that ALL embryos should be implanted? How many babies do they think a mother can safely carry to full term?[/quote]

It does not really matter because no clinic is going to stay involved in offering IVF services in this type of legal environment.  [/quote]

This.
If you went through IVF, then you know that there is an attrition rate, even in between fertilization and day 5/day 6, when you generally end up freezing the embryos.  If life begins at fertilization, then who is going to take the risk of being responsible for the "death" of those fertilized eggs that don't grow to be embryos (5-day blastocysts)?
In the process of multiple FETs, my DH and I lost several embryos when they were thawed prior to transfer.  Would we be held criminally responsible, since we requested the transfers?  Would the embryologist and RE be held criminally responsible?  [/quote]
