Women who have problems conceiving will turn to frozen embryos or a single women who want the gift of having a child of her own.

Pretty unlikely, at least in Alabama.

If the frozen embryos are treated as if they are human children under the law in Alabama, that's going to pose an insurmountable barrier for operating an IVF facility there. The standard of care for handling and preserving something that's considered a human child is much, much higher than the standard of care for something that's treated like any other tissue sample. It's hard to see how any facility could stay in business under that legal framework.

It's early days, and the legislature may intervene. But under the current legal system, it's unlikely that there will be many (if any) frozen embryos in Alabama in the near future.
