Watch SNL on Alabama frozen embryo ruling: âDoes this look like a life to you?â
A frozen embryo who said on a Saturday Night Live news program that he traveled to New York City in the seat of a Megabus from Alabama to comment on the Alabama Supreme Court’s recent ruling that a frozen embryo is a person.
Speaking with news anchor Colin Jost, SNL cast member Marcello Hernandez played a frozen embryo who spoke on his life.
“I guess I never talked before because I don’t have a mouth or throat or lungs,” said the embryo when Jost questioned him about his eclectic accent. The embryo suggested that his parents might be Sophia Vergara, an actress mired in a legal custody battle over embryos she froze with her ex-fiance, and an Oompa Lumpa.
“I guess I have to ask, like as an embryo do you feel like you’re a full human life?” Jost questioned.
“Does this look like a life to you, Colin? I’m living at -200 degrees in liquid nitrogen, freezing my nonexistent nipples off. I don’t got a brain. I don’t got a heart,” he said, comparing himself to reality TV star Tom Sandoval from the show Vanderpump Rules who has come under public scrutiny for his romantic choices.
The embryo announced that his best friend had been sent to “solitary confinement” in a womb and popped an oral nicotine product called Zyn, saying that he takes about 20 a day and that “all the embryos are doing it.
“I don’t know why society is trying to make me grow up so fast,” the embryo asked Jost. “Why do I have to be a human? Can’t I just be an embryo for a while? There’s so much I still want to do, like maybe I’ll divide in two. I’ve always wanted a twin. I think he’ll be delicious.”
