LurkerMom: Women who have problems conceiving will turn to frozen embryos or a single women who want the
gift of having a child of her own.

You're misunderstanding this absurd ruling as well as IVF. In vitro fertilization extracts as many eggs as possible from a woman, fertilizes them to create embryos, and then freezes them. But can doctors still freeze them now? You can't freeze a "living human," after all.

Generally, only one embryo is transferred at a time into the uterus in order to maximize the chances of successful implantation and a full-term pregnancy. Now, with the new ruling, it would seem to be illegal to destroy the remaining embryos, so what is to be done with them?

And what happens when a physician implants an embryo that days or weeks later results in a miscarriage? Is the physician responsible? Can the physician or woman be indicted?

In short, this ruling would seem to end IVF in Alabama.
