Here is the deal with the Alabama ruling. There is an Alabama law about the wrongful death of a child. Seems like a pretty standard law, no big deal. However, what the Alabama supreme court ruled was that the law applies to the frozen embryos, calling them children under the law. This paralyzed IVF in the state because during the process, accidents happen and not just from negligence. During the process there are times where an embryo might stick to the inside of the syringe, for example. Nothing can be done about this but under this ruling it could open up the IVF clinics to liability under this law. So, while I am sure that negligence or intentional acts would pay out differently, the liability from just the normal issues that can arise in the process is too concerning for IVF facilities right now.

That i can understand, but they also said lowering the number of fertilized eggs into the mother in order to lower the count that doesn't survive the process meaning that there is acceptable risks involved in the procedure. Things beyond their control would fall into that category.. kinda common sense there.  No one is going to intentionally make an embryo stick to the syringe.
