A British woman’s longing for having a child of her own may never come true. The woman has been fighting a four-year legal battle to use frozen embryos fertilized by her former partner was disappointed again when the European Court of Human Rights ruled that she could not use them without the consent of former fiance. Natalie Evans was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she began taking fertility in 2000. She had to freeze six embryos in a fertility clinic as she underwent a surgery to get her ovaries removed. The couple split up in 2002 and Johnston, her former fiance wrote to fertility clinic with drawing his consent to use the embryos. The British lady then moved to the court seeking permission to have the embryos implanted in order to have a child. Under current British law, both the man and woman have to give their consent at every stage of IVF treatment. The grand chamber came to the conclusion as the consent was required from both parties thought it was a fair judgment to both concerned. The embryos however will remain in the fertility clinic until the legal fight is finally over after which they would be destroyed if Ms.Evans lost her final battle. As much as I respect the privacy of these individuals and their choices, I strongly believe that no woman should be denied the wonderful opportunity of being a mother to her own child.
