NEW YORK CITY - Following a controversial decision by the Alabama Supreme Court late February -it ruled that embryos are considered children- Gob. Kay Ivey signed a GOP-proposed bill to protect in vitro fertilization into law on Wednesday night.
The legislation serves as a short-term solution that would allow clinics in the state that had halted their services to open. Yet, it does not answer the core question prompted by the court's decision: whether an embryo created by IVF should be treated as a child under state law, NBC News reported.
