| Judge: Couple can sue fertility clinic for Wrongful Death of Embryo
Quote:
A Chicago judge has ruled that an embryo mistakenly discarded by an Illinois fertility clinic was a 'human' and its parents can sue under the state's wrongful death law.
Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Lawrence ruled "a pre-embryo is a 'human being' within the ... Wrongful Death Act and that a claim lies for its wrongful destruction whether or not it is implanted in its mother's womb."

In his decision, Judge Lawrence wrote that he was following the state's Wrongful Death Act which permits women to sue if their unborn children are killed in an attack or accident.
"Philosophers and theologians may debate, but there is no doubt in the mind of the Illinois legislature when life begins. It begins at conception," Lawrence wrote.

Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
