Woman loses frozen embryos fight

Woman loses frozen embryos fight
Q&A: Frozen embryos case
Expert's reaction to ruling

Reading this case and I see both sides' interest. One may just want to have a child of her own desparately since this is her last chance. One see consequences that could happened if a child was born, in term of responsibility, legal, financial, relationship.

If the relationship ends, one may wish for no string attached for further move to a new partner or family.

I kinda agree with UK and European court. Human fertilisation do need both man and woman consent. So when the child is born, she will have a complete happy family rather than a single parent. This is a very complicated matter indeed.

This is not like being pregnant at all. Pregnancy is mainly dominated by the woman. If the relationship ends while she's pregnant, I see no ex-husband's right, or even a husband, to rule whether to keep the embryo or not.

There maybe some other private points they haven't exposed, and will not do. But speaking on the fact and paper, I give it all to the court.

It's hard enough to make a decision within family talk. It's even harder to make any move in public. This single call could rule the EU and UK for the rest of its Act. No mistake can be made.
