Alabama lawmakers have swiftly advanced legislation to protect doctors and facilities offering in vitro fertilization (I.V.F.) treatment. This comes after a recent State Supreme Court ruling that classified frozen embryos as children, causing clinics to halt I.V.F. services. The Senate and House passed bills to shield providers from liability, but some lawmakers are concerned about potential legal implications and the lack of protection for parents. The debate reflects the challenge of reconciling beliefs about life and the practice of I.V.F. Despite frustrations, the legislation aims to reopen clinics while the ethical and legal complexities are addressed.
