Alabama Supreme Court's Ruling on Frozen Embryos Sparks Fear and Confusion

Alabama's Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are children, allowing parents to sue for wrongful death if the embryos are destroyed. Critics fear the decision could have chilling effects on infertility treatments, potentially increasing liability costs and limiting options for families with frozen embryos. The ruling could also impact the fertility industry in Alabama and potentially set a precedent for other states. Reproductive rights advocates argue that the decision reflects a strategic push towards fetal personhood and could have far-reaching implications for IVF and reproductive care.
