Man opposes wife’s bid to have IVF eggs implanted

THE High Court has heard there is no legislation in Ireland governing the legal status of frozen embryos at the centre of a landmark dispute between a woman and her estranged husband.

The woman is fighting for her right to have more children.

The court yesterday began hearing an action taken by a 38-year-old childcare worker who is seeking an order to have three of her fertilised eggs, which were frozen as a result of IVF treatment, implanted in her uterus.
