Embryo in clinic ruled a 'human'

Judge: Mistaken disposal of fertilized egg

meets law's criteria for 'wrongful death'

February 6, 2005

A Chicago judge has ruled that an embryo mistakenly discarded by an Illinois fertility clinic was a 'human' and its parents can sue under the state's wrongful death law.

Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Lawrence ruled "a pre-embryo is a 'human being' within the ... Wrongful Death Act and that a claim lies for its wrongful destruction whether or not it is implanted in its mother's womb."
