Good point, but a little more nuanced. The existing ruling was based on the Civil Practice Code which is basically the procedural rules of the courts, not statutory law over residents. It's a small part of the procures that says who can bring a lawsuit for the wrongful death of a child, i.e. to keep your crazy Aunt Judy who never met the child from filing a B.S. suit. Sure the legislature could pass a law defining a "child" more precisely as a minor or unborn child in the womb to make the child definition in the civil procedures apply, but still the Alabama S.C. court has stuck their snout and made their opinion clear, which means any act passed by the state leg, could be knocked down or considered already knocked down by the courts.

I ain't a legal scholar, but they created a cluster. I'm not sure if the S.C. court's rulings have the effect of overruling law as it does on the federal level in the state courts. Hopefully, someone smarter than me can weigh in. I'm curious if this can be fixed by the state legislature.

Added in the fact we are very close if not already there to turn an embryo into a baby outside a womb and you wonder in AL SC were actually taking a peak over the horizon when making this ruling.

"The ruling is actually somewhat narrow. It applies to three couples who had sued the Center for Reproductive Medicine, a fertility clinic in Mobile, for inadvertently destroying their embryos. The plaintiffs argued that they were entitled to punitive damages under Alabama’s 1872 Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. Two lower state courts disagreed, saying the embryos were neither people nor children. The State Supreme Court reversed those rulings, saying that the embryos fell squarely under Alabama’s definition of minors and that the negligence lawsuits could proceed. The case will now go back to the State District Court for further litigation."

Good. IVF results in the murder of ensouled embryos. My heart goes out to people with fertility issues who have used IVF, but it is ethically unconscionable to allow it to remain legal.

I liked Tubbernuts response. He thinks frozen embryos are handed out to women like candy, just so they can have babies.

Nope
Nope
Nope!
You are wrong.

Sooooooo how is it unethical?

You should educate yourself before making such a foolish statement.

So; you are against IVF?

Do you have link to that quote? I would like to read it in context and can't find it? Thanks
