Punky mentioned this in another thread, and I don't think there's one already open.

A terrible situation to be in, I have to say, but I agree with Punky and the courts.
However, to prevent such a situation occuring in the future, how about when a woman donates eggs to be fertalised by her partner for re-implantation after cancer treatment, why not fertalise some of those eggs with doner sperm?
If the couple remain together and use the frozen embryos, fantastic, hope they live as a happy family, and after 5 years, all the embryos are destroyed as per normal.
If they seperate before implantation however, then the embryos fertalised by the doner sperm could be used.
The woman would therefore still be able to have children.
What do you think?
