Legal Relevance edit

It would be useful to add information regarding legal issues arising from the increased practice of freezing embryos. For example, the legal ramifications in the event of divorce with respect to allocation of embryos is an increasingly popular topic as more individuals have turned to this form of assisted reproductive technology in recent years.

Etymology edit

The present section appears to be substantially Original Research, although research from sources. The OED disagrees with it in detail, seeing a confusion of two distinct High Medieval Latin forms, one related to βρύον moss. Neither of them are in Latin -us, -um.
