Sorry for the confusion, the battery part of my reply was related to forcibly ending someone else’s pregnancy, which would have to involve some kind of battery unless it’s like poison or something, not related to the embryos in the freezer. There is no battery to those since they are not people.
How could it be battery if the embryos aren’t treated as people? Nobody was battered. No victim was even present.

For the record, if we treat this more like a safety deposit box; the couple are the victims here.
It should probably be treated that way.
Their argument is because those embryos had potential to be human… they should be treated as human.
I don’t buy it, and it’s certainly not something that should establish the precedent that embryos=babies.
So sue for property damage. Harvesting embryos is an expensive and painful process. Hell you could even sue for pain and suffering.
But wrongful death is just ridiculous.
Gee, that’s…. More or less what I’m saying?
