[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the R lawmakers are trying to save the situation by passing another law that excludes frozen embryos. Seems to me that they are playing God here, deciding which embryo is a "baby" and which is not.

[quote]Melson, who chairs the Senate's Health Care Committee, said Thursday that he is planning to introduce legislation that would clarify that[b] embryos are not viable unless they are implanted in a uterus[/b].[/quote]

This is a slippery slope.  When is a fetus "viable"?  A fetus with a genetic defect that cannot survive much after being born is not "viable".  So, shouldn't the woman be able to abort such a fetus?

Too much gray area. That's the problem with these kinds of laws, and why politicians should stay away from defining medical terms and treatment.

Good luck getting that past the religious nutjobs in your state house.[/quote]
