Discarded Embryo Lawsuit

Posted by Eric at 9:51 pm. Filed under: General

This situation, as reported by the Associated Press, is interesting:

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — A couple whose frozen embryo was accidentally destroyed at a fertility clinic has the right in Illinois to file a wrongful-death lawsuit, a judge has ruled in a case that some legal experts say could have implications in the debate over embryonic stem cell research.

In an opinion issued Friday, Cook County Judge Jeffrey Lawrence said “a pre-embryo is a ‘human being’ … whether or not it is implanted in its mother’s womb.”

He said the couple is as entitled to seek compensation as any parents whose child has been killed.

But what if it was intentionally destroyed?
