A current Texas law requires that embryonic and fetal tissue in a medical facilitybe treated as “human remains” instead of “medical waste.” People have to bury orcremate any embryonic or fetal tissue removed during medical procedures. Such

requirements raise questions about what society thinks of embryos and fetuses. Arethey biological material? Persons? Something in between? We will discuss courtcases that show different and changing biological and social understandings of

embryos and fetuses.
