The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a controversial ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court that has raised concerns about the availability of in vitro fertilization services. The Alabama ruling allowed couples to pursue wrongful death lawsuits against fertility clinics over the accidental destruction of frozen embryos.
A fertility clinic and hospital had requested the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Alabama decision, which permitted a couple to sue them for the wrongful death of their frozen embryo. The justices, however, declined to comment on the petition.
