Based on the recent Alabama ruling that embryos (even frozen fertility clinic embryos) are children, does this mean that fertility clinics can now be charged with false imprisonment of minors? And if so, how could they go about freeing / releasing these minors – will the conservative-right (maybe the churches, themselves) take on the responsibility for keeping them viable until they can distribute all of them to loving families? And what would this mean? Would they ~strongly~ encourage their congregants to forgo any attempt to have their own biological children until all of the embryos have been implanted in potential mothers and let God decide which embryos are worthy of completing their development?

Was the Alabama court simply too incompetent (with emphasis on the word “simply”) to consider the implications of their ruling or did they just not care about what it might mean?
