If the ownership of the fertilised eggs were shared between the two of them, neither one should be able to have claim to them - just because they're her eggs doesn't make them her fertilised eggs. If the bloke has an accident in the future whereby it damages his 'tackle' and he's only firing blanks - should he be allowed to use the fertilised eggs with a new partner, after all they're partly his. The answer of course, is no and there would be outrage if it was suggested but technically, he would have the same claim to them as this woman does.

You can't say for sure that the answer would definitely be 'No' Gayle, he would have to apply to the European Courts like she did I suppose, and we don't know how they would view it.
And Riq don't think it is very gentlemanly of you to mark down the post by Flash #35 as 'ridiculous' just because she had an opposite view to yourself.
Calling someone else's point of view as this or rubbish is the first rule of etiquette in a debate, and this is an interesting subject.
Never quite sure about the cliche that it isn't a woman's right to have children, just a privilege ... maybe I misunderstand it. If medical science just considered it a privilege, then feel there would be lots of women who wouldn't have had the children they so desired.
