The state’s highest court reversed a judge’s dismissal of the case involving embryos destroyed by a wandering Mobile hospital patient.

    The patient removed embryos from the freezer, and “it is believed that the cryopreservation’s subzero temperatures burned the eloping patient’s hands, causing him or her to drop the cryopreserved embryonic human beings on the floor, where they began to slowly die,” one of the filings stated.

    So the patient killed his or her frozen embryos and now they’re suing the clinic for wrongful death of a minor. Makes sense on so many levels.

      This patient killed three other couple’s embryos, not their own. The clinic is being sued and I assume (can’t find confirmation) that this patient is also getting sued.

      No, that is not what the article says.

      I would recommend reading an article before trying to come to conclusions about what it means.

        I would recommend not being rude and assuming that people are speaking in good faith when it’s obviously clear that they misread something.

          How does the saying goes? Don’t assume malice when competence could be a factor?

          Says nothing about being an idiot skimming an article and latching onto the first paragraph that aligns to what they want to read.

          This is further than just “misreading”.
