This article examines the possible effects of the end of a federal constitutional right to abortion on clinical practice and research involving ex vivo human embryos. It first analyzes the likely outcomes of Dobbs v. Mississippi, concluding the Supreme Court will either overrule the federal constitutional abortion right or restrict it in a way that leads to its rapid disappearance. Next, the article discusses a possible increase in use of preimplantation genetic testing as one result. It then forecasts the likely ramifications of such a court decision on state legislation affecting ex vivo human embryos in two ways. It examines the possibility that victory over Roe will inspire embryo support groups to push for limitations on in vitro fertilization, perhaps on its destruction of embryos and more likely on permissible grounds for prospective parents to use in choosing embryos for transfer. It ends by discussing the prospects of new laws in some states banning or limiting research with human embryos.

鱼子之死和离体胚胎的未来

本文探讨了终止联邦宪法堕胎权对涉及离体人类胚胎的临床实践和研究的可能影响。它首先分析了多布斯诉密西西比案的可能结果，得出的结论是，最高法院要么否决联邦宪法中的堕胎权，要么以导致其迅速消失的方式对其加以限制。接下来，本文讨论了作为一个结果可能增加植入前基因检测的使用。然后，它预测了这样的法院判决可能会以两种方式对影响离体人类胚胎的州立法产生影响。它研究了战胜罗伊的胜利将激发胚胎支持团体推动对体外受精的限制的可能性，也许是因为它破坏了胚胎，更有可能是基于允许准父母在选择胚胎进行移植时使用的理由。最后讨论了一些州禁止或限制人类胚胎研究的新法律的前景。
