"Justice Brian McGovern said most agreed frozen embryos resulting from infertility treatment deserved special respect but ruled "the right to life of the unborn" in the Irish constitution did not extend to them." Interesting use of the word 'them' in the context of denying their humanity.
If they aren't human, wouldn't 'those' be more accurate?

Apparently, life, under the Irish Constitution, is cheap.

I wish our constitution gave as much protection as the Irish constitution, even if it does have a loophole for frozen embryos.
But think about this -- if a frozen embryo was treated by law as identical to a fetus in a womb, then you could be prosecuted for murder I guess if you made a lab error and killed one of them, or if the power went out and the cryogenics stopped working.
Can we really say that a lab mishap with an embryo is the same as taking action to kill a growing fetus in a womb?

The Irish Supreme Court has been trying to legalise abortion since 1992, even though
Bunreacht na heireann [Constitution of Ireland] specifically forbids it:
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
Personal Rights
Article 40
3. 3° The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.

All embryos are life, right? So Miscariages should involve 911, and everything possible should be tried to save the fetus.
Even if it is one week. Even if it is a little ball of cells, or even one cell.
Right, everyone?

Frozen embryos have no right to life: Irish court
So what?!
Neither do thawed out ones, implanted ones, ones that are still inside Mom, and soon, coming to a 'caring' facility near you, ones that have been born, but are considered to have 'poor chances' in life!
