I was watching an article the other day about a lady who had ovarian cancer, so when they operated they took some of her eggs, fertilsied them with her partners sperm and froze the embryo's as she would eb unable to produce eggs after her operation. Now, 5 years later, she has split from the partner but is fighting for permission to use the frozen embryo's to have a baby.
I can see her point of view - they are her embryo's and she will never be able to produce anymore eggs or have her own children, they are her last hope. But I can also see her ex partners point of view, he doesnt want to have a child with her so should she be allowed to use embryo's fertilised by his sperm, literally forcing him into becoming a father.
Im really on the fence with this one,so thought id see what people on here think of this, as it is quite topical.
