"Controversy Surrounds Alabama's IVF Legislation and Its Impact on Reproductive Rights"

Alabama's new law protecting in vitro fertilization has raised concerns among legal experts, as it shields fertility doctors and patients from liability and prevents patients from suing for damages in cases of embryo destruction due to clinic negligence or product malfunction. Critics argue that the law overlooks the emotional and physical toll of such losses and fails to provide adequate justice for affected individuals. The fertility industry's lack of federal or state oversight has led to mishaps, prompting calls for better regulation and accountability.
