Hear me out.
Buy a massive freezer.
Adopt every single frozen embryo you can. There should be a bunch available in Alabama.
Move to Alabama.
Claim every single one for tax credit.
Bankrupt the state government.
If that doesn't work, keep going.
Register every fetus that's been frozen for at least 18 years to vote. They can't speak for themselves, so someone has to.
Elect sane people to office.
When your freezer conks out and all of your “children” are dead, then you are now liable.
This is why people doing IVF are so terrified. They could be held liable if their embryos become non-viable.
It's an act of God that the power went out.
Except in TX
Ar wants your [frozen] children!
You can also draw a straight line between "embryos are children" and "all embryos must be implanted."
Yes
Exactly. They would probably force implant embryos into women, and then arrest them for murder if the embryo fails to take hold.
I’d definitely get redundant generators and batteries to protect my income-I MEAN, my family.
Can embryos inherit property? Could they be an end around on inheritance tax? The mobile children of the donors could be guardians of the inheriting embryo?
Why are you asking me? Ask the judge in Alabama who figured this all out before making his shortsighted and dickhole decision.
Fine I’ll restate it as a statement. I doubt that the judge who decided that embryos are children has considered whether embryos can inherit property. A cynical person might seek to use their embryonic “children” as an end around on inheritance tax. They might treat the personhood status of the embryo like a corporation, enabling their children and dependents to control assets by becoming a guardian of the embryo in question. It’s clear that you don’t have the interest to consider such issues, so if I have the ability to ask someone I’ll wait until I can ask the dickhole and shortsighted Alabama judge directly. Enjoy your weekend.
How much is a frozen fetus going for these days?
Ima need about tree-fitty.
