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?

That's a very interesting idea and I think in light of the troubles Ms Evans is having, people may consider it in the future. Its not the norm atm, because of the high failure rate of IVF. If you halve the number of eggs fertalised by your husband in half, then they failure rate of getting an egg fertalised by her husband effectively doubles.
The ideal solution would be if eggs could be frozen prior to fertalisation. That way they can be fertalised by whoever she likes. I guess they can't do that otherwise they would have done it anyway.
I think more women will do as Xaccers said as they become more realistic about life.
