Sofia Vergara: US actress faces lawsuit 'from own embryos'


http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38252457

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.

Ms Vergara, 44, and Mr Loeb, a 41-year-old businessman, created the embryos at a California clinic through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 2013.

A contract signed at the time is reported to have stipulated that neither partner could do anything with the embryos without the other's consent.

Ms Vergara, according the suit, is alleged to be refusing to allow them to be implanted in a surrogate mother.

Mr Loeb's legal team allege that both Ms Vergara and Mr Loeb went into the IVF process on the understanding that the embryos would be brought to term.

'Going to hell'

The IVF process initially produced several embryos, prompting the following text message exchange, according to the plaintiff's documents.

Mr Loeb: "Now what. You can't keep 4 frozen lives forever or kill them, we will go to hell."

Ms Vergara: "We r going to hell regardless".

Ms Vergara's lawyer, Fred Silberberg, told US weekly the case against his client would fail.

"That genetic material was created pursuant to a written agreement that required both parties' written consent to attempt to create a pregnancy."

Ms Vergara is now married to American actor, Joe Manganiello. She has a son by previous marriage.

The case has again thrown the spotlight in the United States on the issue of when a fertilised egg should be considered a human being.

In the state of Ohio, Republican lawmakers have approved a bill which would ban abortions once a heartbeat has been detected in an embryo.

The measure, which has yet to be signed into law by Governor John Kasich, could mean no abortions six weeks after conception.

It would be one of the strictest abortion laws in the US if approved.

What trust? Who set up the trust? Who is in charge of the trust? Badly written article.

The trust sounds like it was set up by her ex who wants to use it to fight against Sofia instead of using his own name. The state courts will most likely side with the man on this one.

Such a strange world we live in.

There's an example of a woman who had all of the beauty and all of the marks of fertility one could want (that's what beauty is at its core - the things we consider beautiful are just fertility cues) and she has barely any offspring (just 1) to show for it.
This is a person engineered by nature for optimal procreative ability and that ability isn't even used. And this is normal now - women at peak fertility in their prime with all of the god-given procreative gifts in the world insist on avoiding procreation and, if they do it at all, waiting until such gifts erode or nearly disappear. Our society only encourages this.

Beauty is fertility, so it just seems a bit of a mindfuck for me to live in a society where so many beautiful people exist and fertility is totally dismissed at the same time. It's like you're supposed to look at beauty and admire it, but when it comes to it's actual purpose (fertility and procreation) you've gotta ignore it and push it out of your mind. We're not really wired for that, so it seems like it just ratchets up sexual tension in a weird and unhealthy way and fosters a view of our capacity as creator's of life and propagators of the human species that is dangerously apathetic or dismissive.

It's like we live in a society of dolls and mannequins - have fun looking at them, playing with them, and dressing them up, but don't do anything more meaningful than that (i.e. create life). They're just for show, and the show is the most important thing. Westerners truly are The Beautiful Ones.

Damn...didn't realize she is now 44 years old. This is what she look like when she was first spotted for a Pepsi ad at 17 years old.
