I Have A Question About Alabama Embryos

If an embryo is on ice for 18 years, can it vote?

Also, if a couple selects an embryo but there are 3 or 4 more left over, they are not allowed to dispose of the embryos? Who maintains them, can they become wards of the state?

...unless we lose our country in November.

There are way too many reasons why this ridiculous ruling just can't stand.

My only worry is for the possible humans who might someday have to deal with whatever repercussions will effect their lives from this idiocy.

have so many dumbsters. "Don't hide your light under a barrel." The light is the soul living inside an outer, physical covering, the physical body. If these people were actual Christians, they'd know a human has two components, soul and body. No deity sent a soul to spend decades frozen inside a lab thimble, incapable of fulfilling the soul's purpose stated elsewhere of cultivating divine values on planet earth.

Now I don't know if Alabam is one of those states, but it stands to reason the IVF clinic would be on solid ground if it dropped the frozen embryos off at one of those facilities. That should be a confidential-and-no-questions scenario where the interest of the embryo is paramount. And if state law didn't provide for the legally and safely surrendered "child" to be cared for in a comfortable minus 200 C, it's not the IVF clinic's problem
