So if a couple froze 10 embryos, the first one successfully implanted...

Could they keep the other 9 on ice and claim 10 dependents in Alabama?

I'm not sure how the math works out, but they clearly didn't think this thru.

That's great!
I first thought of the other side. Facilities that keep embryos now are subject to all sorts of childcare regulations. Staffing ratios, food service, bedroom counts, all sorts of things.

No, everyone needs to pay their fair share of taxes. No freeloaders and no cheats gaming systems like unemployment! But remember, if a very wealthy individual says mean things that get you aroused and they game the system, it's financial smarts. And if tips go unreported for a person you resemble, that's just what everyone does. And if you time retirement/ss to double-collect benefits and pay, we'll you didn't write the rules, right?

"no, not like that"

They’ll just make the frozen embryos work at meat processing plants
