The article implies that current patients essentially have no choice but to continue storing whatever frozen embryos they have at the cost of hundreds of dollars per year. It also mentioned that fertility clinics have "paused" services due to the legal risk posed to anyone involved if the embryo were to fail at any stage. So what happens now? Will these clinics be legally obligated to continue maintaining these embryos in their frozen state until the end of time? Considering their business model has been made illegal, it seems like bankruptcy is inevitable. Who then becomes responsible for these embryos? This is all so absurd.

The Daily had someone call in who was 3 days away from an implantation, the surrogate had been taking shots for weeks to get ready, and the company called it off because of the ruling. And transport companies won't move the embryos because of the ruling. So literally the only legal option is to spend a year and $30,000 starting over in a other state and hoping the far right don't come to power / have a similar judgement in that state in that time.
