Bid to have landmark embryo case appeal heard before Christmas
The woman who two years ago lost a High Court action aimed at having three embryos implanted in her uterus with a view to becoming pregnant against the wishes of her estranged husband has asked the Supreme Court to hear her appeal as soon as possible.
Today Mr Gerard Hogan SC for Mary Roche told the Chief Justice Mr John Murray that his client was seeking an early hearing date for medical and scientific reasons.
