Frozen embryos ruled "children", AL
A court decision has made in-vitro fertilization effectively illegal
in Alabama, by ruling that the
destruction of a frozen embryo
constitutes "killing a child." As a result, to carry out IVF
there is now too risky.
This is the sort of lunacy that religion leads to. And if this decision stands, it would be a
short step further to rule that abortion is murder.
In addition, the world desperately needs to reduce the human population through humane means,
so as to decrease the disaster that global heating is starting to produce. Discouraging IVF is
a legitimate contribution to that. The good thing to do, if you want to raise a child, is to
adopt one. That will not increase the world's population, and it will help someone who is
otherwise likely to suffer.
