Professors Clare Ryan and Ben McMichael’s article, The Future of Frozen Embryos, is forthcoming in the SMU Law Review. A draft of the article is available on SSRN.
The article focuses on the effects of the Alabama Supreme Court decision in LePage v. Center for Reproductive Medicine, which declared frozen embryos to be “children.” Ryan and McMichael explore the context, implications, and potential consequences of this decision on family law, tort law, and access to reproductive technologies in the United States.
