Tell us: share your experience of IVF in the US | IVF


The Alabama supreme court ruled on Friday that frozen embryos are “children” in a decision that could have sweeping implications for people undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The decision finds that someone who has “destroyed” embryos could be held liable in a wrongful-death lawsuit, a finding that could imperil parents and clinics and has prompted warnings that fertility clinics in Alabama could be forced to close their doors.

If you’ve gone through IVF, the Guardian wants to hear from you. What are your views on the Alabama ruling? What do you think it could mean for prospective parents in the state – and in the rest of the US?
