Couples warned over unregulated conception

Couples have again been warned by a judge of the legal pain which can be caused when children are born as a result of unregulated artificial conception in a case involving an Irish and English lesbian couple.

Mr Justice Peter Jackson is the latest judge to raise concerns, issuing a warning after analysing a family court dispute over a baby girl whose lesbian parents separated.

He said the case was “one more example” of problems which could arise.
