[quote=Anonymous][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.

Stupid a$$ Rs.[/quote]
The AL law claims "life begins at conception", but this new law that they are trying to pass states that "a frozen embryo is not viable".

A frozen embryo is still a life, so it doesn't seem that they are very clear on their own laws.

The two laws seem to contradict each other.[/quote]

A cell kept alive in a petri dish is also "life" - but is it the same as a full human being?  Nope.

You'd think Alabamans would be familiar with terms like "don't count your chickens 'til they've hatched" but apparently basic folk wisdom has been overridden by ignorant political stupidity.
