Ban Lung‑Float Test in Court

Medical examiners’ national association says the lung‑float test is of 'questionable value' with undefined error rates and documented misuse in prosecutions of pregnant women. Courts and prosecutors should cease admitting lung‑float results as proof of live birth without validated error estimates and independent peer‑reviewed methods. — Stopping judicial reliance on an unvalidated forensic test would prevent wrongful criminal charges, protect maternal rights, and force prosecutors to rely on validated science or drop weak cases.
