Is a life a life or not, judge?
as a person who always wanted biological offspring,
who could afford them, who could raise them well,
I resent this heartily. -- j

But my point is that once you have the ability to create these embryos outside the womb, these situations will arise. I feel very strongly that this woman does not have the right to force this man to become a father. In my opinion she should be held to the document she signed. She could have chosen to freeze her unfertilized eggs, and she would have preserved her "right" to procreate.
You could argue that disposing of these frozen embryos will be murder, and I will probably agree with you, but I will still argue that doing it is the right thing.
Or I'll ask another question. If someone bombed a building that held embryos could they be charged with murder?? I don't know that answer.
I wasn't really viable until I had some work experience
and could provide for myself. . some days, I wonder,
in retirement, am I still viable? ....... -- j

is the predecessor of the life of the child, and the adult who can
support him/herself follows. . bombing such a building
should probably be "manslaughter." -- j

my kids -- or their potential -- alive. . I despise this judge
for failing to see that these are life forms which should be
protected. . I wish that I had had embryos. -- j

denies reality, it should be voided. . and I got an A
in business law, as part of my MBA; contracts are
wonderful things. -- j

that's reality.
if you and I make a contract which says "When I decide to
terminate your life, we will agree that it's not murder,"
and I decide to kill you, well -- it's still murder. -- j

reverse her contractual decision, which might ameliorate
her position. -- j

While it may make the position better, maybe she should do less jail time than the father?? Again just saying. :)
in order to protect my progeny. . but that's me. . twisted logic;;;
I know. -- j

Certainly, the judge is implying this is a potential and not an actual life. Here's why.
If it was a child and the contract said that the child would be destroyed in the event of a divorce, we would deem the contract null and void. The life of the child is incontrovertibly his own, though the parent may dictate much of the child's proper action to a certain age.
total dependence of human kids, for years. . they must
hope that adults will sustain them, else, well ....... -- j
