Just when you thought the world was going to hell in a handbasket, Kentucky legislators have come to the rescue with the following proposed legislation. Rejoice, all.
AN ACT relating to in vitro fertilization.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:
SECTION 1. A NEW SECTION OF KRS 311.710 TO 311.820 IS CREATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:
(1) As used in this section, "in vitro fertilization" means the process of harvesting or retrieving one (1) or more egg cells from a female, fertilizing the egg with sperm cells with the intent to create a fetus, and transferring the fertilized egg into a female's womb or uterus for further development.
(2) Any person performing an in vitro fertilization or allowing an in vitro fertilization to occur shall not fertilize more than one (1) egg during the in vitro fertilization process.
(3) A person who violates subsection (2) of this section is guilty of a Class D felony.

To give credit to the proposing legislators, they have answered the call for
consistency. But consistency isn't enough. Even
entailment isn't enough. Garbage in, probably garbage out. In this particular case, a
reductio.
