A woman left infertile after cancer treatment cannot use her frozen embryos to have a baby, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.

I am with the courts here. Ms Evans has said she will not claim from the CSA, but who's to say she'll always think like that? Remember the case, in several countries, where an anonymous sperm donor to a sperm bank was tracked down and forced to pay child support? (

Yeah, its sad this woman is now infertile and wants kids. But she's going the wrong way about it. There are so women who can't have kids who don't have frozen eggs to use. She should look to adopt... There are so many kids condemned to a sub-standard life in care homes, and later in adult life. If being a mother is so important to her, why not be a mother to a kid who was forced into adoption?
