Fertility doctors ‘terrified’ by Alabama court ruling that classifies embryos as children

Read our privacy policy An Alabama Supreme Court ruling that classified frozen embryos as children under state law has left fertility doctors “terrified” and may force clinics to close their doors, campaigners have warned. In a decision that could have profound consequences for both patients seeking fertility care and the medical professionals that provide it, the state’s highest court allowed for a wrongful death lawsuit to be brought over the destruction of frozen embryos in an incident at an Alabama clinic in 2020. Overturning a lower court decision that classified the case as a property dispute, Alabama Justice Jay Mitchell wrote in the majority ruling last week that an 1872 state law allowing parents to sue over the death of a minor child also applied to embryos. In its ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court referred to anti-abortion language added to the state’s constitution in 2018, which made it the policy of the state to “ensure the protection of the rights of the unborn child.” In a concurring opinion to the ruling, Chief Justice Tom Parker quoted the Bible.
