[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Alabama case was not about banning IVF treatment.  It was brought by a couple seeking IVF treatment at a facility.  They charged negligence by the facility for losing their embryos when a random patient went in and dropped the embryos.[/quote]

Have you even read the thread? Have you read the opinion on this case? All you are listing are the series of events that lead to the claims.

The three plaintiffs want to collect punitive damages under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Child act because they claim the destruction of their frozen embryos qualified as minor children. So what is a minor child in Alabama? It has been established as case law since 2011 there that an unborn child as in an embryo DOES qualify as a minor child.

Fertility clinic and hospital counter argue that there should be an exception for embryos that are NOT in a womb aka frozen embryos like these ones. Court disagreed and sided with the plaintiffs and held that an embryo has personhood protection and was a person/minor child as soon as it became an embryo, whether it was located inside or outside a womb. The only kind of embryo that is created and exists outside a woman’s body is one done via IVF.

So please, educate yourself on the actual law being argued in this case. This case has wild implications. ONCE that egg is fertilized, the clock starts ticking according to the state of Alabama. There are no disputes about the fact pattern that lead to the claims. No one disputes whether the storage room was unlocked and whether an unauthorized person gained access and whether that same person reached into a tank and grabbed some embryos and dropped them on the floor like the crazy story that it is.
