Alabama Supreme Court Ruling on Embryos Adds to State’s National Attention
This incident comes at a time when Alabama has been in the spotlight due to a recent Supreme Court ruling. The court ruled in an 8-1 decision that a fertility clinic could be sued for wrongful death by three couples after several embryos were accidentally destroyed. The ruling emphasized the recognition and protection of embryos as unborn children, aligning with Alabama’s Constitution and its commitment to upholding the sanctity of unborn life.
“Here, the text of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation,” wrote Justice Jay Mitchell in the majority decision. “It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.”
