Assuming I read the article correctly

In this particular case, its so the owners of the frozen embryos can sue for wrongful death in a case where the embryos were tampered with and destroyed by someone not working at the clinic.

In a case originating from Mobile, LePage v. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc., the Supreme Court held in a 7-2 decision that parents of frozen embryos killed at an IVF clinic when an intruder tampered with an IVF freezer may proceed with a wrongful death lawsuit against the clinic for alleged negligence.


But this has slippery slope written all over it.
