No. They should sue for something, but not wrongful death. An embryo is not a human.

^^ Huh? I don't know the details of this case, but I think they should receive some kind of compensation. There 's a lot of debate on whether a fetus is human or not, but here we're talking about an embryo. An embryo doesn't even have human features yet, which is why I think it's pretty extreme to be sueing for wrongful death.

I wonder why the doctor's would just throw them away though, it seems like there is more to the story.

Wow!! That judge is opening a huge can of worms by saying an embryo is a life. I think that is why judges are targets these days because they are making laws instead of enforcing them. He needs to enforce the law.

Though an embryo is not yet a 'life' it may as well be, and in my eyes, it's the same thing as murder. Sure, sure, just because it can't feel anything and it doesn't know you're killing it, you're still doing it?!

Lime, that makes no sense. If it's not alive, how can you kill it? My take: Wrongful death seems a bit much. Especially considering these fertilization clinics usually create many embryos that never get used, and the couple should have been well aware of that fact, so they would effectively be complicent. But, it seems if the clinic didn't deliver on their promise, especially if it was due to negligence, I would hope the couple would get there money back at the very least.

I agree they should sue for throwing it away, but wrongful death?
