The Alabama Supreme Court chose not to revisit its controversial ruling that classifies frozen embryos as children under state law Friday, CBS News reported.
The Alabama Supreme Court rejected a request to reconsider its ruling February that treats frozen embryos as children under state law, according to CBS News. The court, by a 7-2 majority, dismissed the request without comment amid domestic and international backlash.
The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit by three couples whose frozen embryos were accidentally destroyed at a storage facility. The court’s decision enables them to pursue wrongful death claims by classifying the destroyed embryos as “extrauterine children.”
