Bound to be a movie, one day...

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is being, in effect, sued by two frozen embryos she conceived with the partner she split from, US media report.

The embryos, named Emma and Isabella, are listed in Louisiana court documents obtained by the New York Post.

She and Nick Loeb separated in 2014 and he has already tried unsuccessfully to sue for the embryos' custody.

The new lawsuit argues that the embryos are being deprived of their inheritance from a trust by not being born.

The trust is reported to have been created for them in Louisiana, although the embryos are located in California.

Louisiana is considered a "pro-life" state and under its law a fertilised egg is seen as a "juridical person".

The Louisiana case names a trustee as plaintiff, but not Mr Loeb himself. The suit asks that the embryos be transferred to Mr Loeb so that they can be born and receive their inheritance.

Not even Lifetime would bother to put this sad nonsense into a screenplay imo

Nicholas Loeb seems like a nutjob who may have had to work for 3 or 4 days in his entire life

i don't know, the ny times gave him an op ed.

and under its law a fertilised egg is seen as a "juridical person".

just curious, how many other states (or other countries idk?) acknowledge this
