Title

Definition of child; embryo outside a human uterus excluded from definition.

Description

Existing law protects the rights of unborn children in certain circumstances.

The Alabama Supreme Court has held that "extrauterine children," that is, unborn children "located outside of a biological uterus," are considered unborn children for purposes of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.

This bill would provide that any fertilized human egg or human embryo that exists outside of a human uterus is not considered an unborn child or human being for any purpose under state law.
