"Alabama Supreme Court's Landmark Ruling: Frozen Embryos Declared 'Children' Under State Law"

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos can be considered children under state law, a decision that could have significant implications for fertility treatments. The ruling, issued in wrongful death cases involving destroyed embryos, cited anti-abortion language in the Alabama Constitution and has sparked concerns about the future of IVF and embryo freezing in the state. Critics warn that the decision could limit access to modern healthcare, while supporters view it as a victory for protecting the rights of the unborn.
