Here’s another story similar to an English woman I blogged about earlier. Seems this Irish woman’s husband has decided to remain with his girlfiriend and doesn’t want his wife to be able to use their embryos they created earlier to have more children. I’ll keep watching what the courts decide and let you know the outcome. More and more though, we think we’ve figured out such an easy solution to our infertility. We belive that technology has found an answer to our problem. And we believe that we have a right to our own children. But we are forced to realize the technology which we thought was our saviour, has created more and more complex issues.
