  • What happens to the embryos in a divorce?

    9.1
    "Superb"
    By Dawnsdinosaurs, May 02, 2011
    Once again Law & Order gives us a topic that really does affect today's society. Many people are using invtiro-fertilization to get pregnant. What happens to the leftover embryos when a couple gets divorce? We get a very realistic look in this episode. I always love the way Law & Order makes you go back and forth over the right and wrong of the case. At first I really felt sorry for the second wife, wanting to have her dead husband's baby, even if it meant that it was also the first wife's. Then as the case goes on and you realize she was only doing it for the money, you really feel bad for the first wife and don't want her to win. In all of this you can't forget that a woman was murdered in the first wife's plan to destroy the embryos. This show really keeps you thinking and wondering. As long as the show can do that it will continue to be around for a long long time.moreless

    • Frances Curran: So, who does the King of Belgium need to be protected against, the Duke of Earl? This is an allusion to the 1962 number one soul and rock & roll charts song by Gene Chandler, Duke of Earl.

    • Detective Briscoe reads a leaflet that urges people to "be a monkey wrench." This refers to a novel by Edward Abbey called The Monkey Wrench Gang. Radical environmentalists in the novel use sabotage as a means of protest. Such acts eventually came to be referred to among activists as "monkeywrenching."

    • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the J.B./M.B. and Kass cases.
