Abstract
The legal liability landscape surrounding mishandled cryopreserved gametes and embryos reveals the struggle that courts and lawmakers confront in attempting to bring justice when a patient’s dreams of biologic parenthood are shattered by professional wrongdoing. In their retrospective analysis, Letterie and Fox (1) review the incidence and outcomes of lawsuits alleging embryo loss over a 10-year period. While the number of legal claims is miniscule compared with the total embryo thaw procedures reported during the same period—well less than 1%—the authors are sensitive to the devastation prospective parents experience at the lost opportunity that is perceived to accompany storage mishaps.
