Georgia Passes First Embryo Adoption Act
Starting today, Georgia becomes the first state in the nation to have a law allowing adoption of an embryo. The Option of Adoption Act was introduced by state Rep. James Mills, R-Chestnut Mountain, and is viewed as a victory for anti-abortion groups who want the law to recognize embryos in their earliest stages of development as people. It is among the most notable of more than a dozen state laws taking effect today. The laws language does not specifically define an embryo as a person, but Mills said theres no mistaking the implication. "I dont know of anyone adopting chairs or desks or tables you can only adopt living human beings," Mills said. READ the story at the GAINSVILLE TIMES.
