This podcast episode delves into the legal and ethical ramifications surrounding the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that classifies embryos as "cryopreserved embryonic human beings" and infertility treatments as a form of "daycare." We examine the implications of this ruling on IVF clinics, patients undergoing fertility treatments, and the broader debate on the legal status of embryos. Through the stories of those directly affected, we explore the emotional toll and uncertainty that this ruling has caused for individuals seeking fertility treatments and the future of IVF in Alabama and beyond.
