Others have already answered about the ruling, but just to add more context to the sociopolitical shitstorm, you have people like the judge who just go the whole distance and say that frozen embryos are people, you have people that believe they are not people at all, and you have people who SAY they believe that embryos are people but somewhere deep inside they know that binning a petri dish is not the same as murdering a child and they want access to IVF, but they can’t admit that embryos are not people because that raises questions about abortion bans.
Consequently I’m seeing all kinds of weird rationalizations like “yes it’s human but it’s not alive if it’s frozen,” or “it’s ok to destroy embryos in the process of IVF because the couple is trying for pregnancy so in the end it’s a net positive for human life”.
