Cancer patient fights to save her fertilised eggs

A RECOVERING British cancer patient yesterday insisted she would go to court to fight to save her test-tube fertilised, stored embryos after her ex-fiance said he wanted them destroyed.

The embryos were created using eggs which Natallie Evans, 30, had taken from her ovaries before they were removed in a life-saving cancer operation.

But her dreams of IVF treatment were shattered when her fiance, Howard Johnston, who willingly fertilised the eggs, said he now wanted the embryos destroyed.
