support of this judge and legal ruling is based on some vague X-Files like image of how bizarre it feels to see a bunch of human images "sitting on a shelf". Sounds like a teriffic way to make law and policy.

And to be clear -- again -- what is actually happening is a combination of some zygotes (often with genetic issues) being destroyed, or donated for research or potentially held for a second or third round of implantation if the woman loses a first chance, but doesnt then need to go through entirely new rounds of egg harvesting just to try again (but all are still not necessarily used). All of this is part of regular IVF for most and all would seem illegal now for women and families in Alabama based on this judge. So when you say you are generally ok with IVF --- just realize, actually...you are not. This is ok -- your choice. The problem is how it is being made for others.
