Abstract
- Alabama has passed a new law granting civil and criminal immunity to in vitro fertilization (IVF) providers, allowing them to resume services after a recent court ruling raised questions about the future of fertility treatment in the state. The law protects providers from legal action if embryos are destroyed or damaged during IVF treatments. However, some legal experts and Democratic lawmakers argue that the law does not fully address the central question of whether embryos in cold storage are legally considered children, leaving room for further legal challenges.
