- Michigan Medicine response to the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization (IVF):
- Michigan Medicine remains committed to providing IVF as a critical part of infertility care and supporting patients’ rights to reproductive freedom.
- The Alabama Supreme Court ruling on embryonic personhood does not have any direct impact on the patients we serve in U-M’s Center for Reproductive Medicine, including IVF services or the storage of embryos resulting from fertility treatment.
- While our patients will not be affected here in Michigan, we recognize that these types of rulings pose significant risks to the practice of IVF, introducing restrictions and challenges that may undermine the rights and autonomy of individuals seeking fertility treatment.
- Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples and IVF is often the most effective way to conceive, making access to this care critical for families who wish to receive fertility treatment.
