What are you talking about, IVF, and she's not allowed to continue?

It's nobodies business. It's the woman's body. End of discussion.

When you came inside her, that was your last warning that you could become a parent.

There was a court case where a couple going through IVF split up and the man withdrew consent. She had had cancer treatment so this was her only chance for a child, but under the law, which was held up by the courts, the fertilised embryos were destroyed, because the man no longer wanted to be a father.

This is the law relating to IVF, pre-implantation.

This anomaly in the law does prompt the question, if the man has this right to pull the plug on IVF, in these days of equality could it be argued that the man should have the right to insist the woman have a termination.

For the record if I were to have got either a girl friend or a wife pregnant, I would be wanting them to have the child and play a full part in it's life, but I do wonder if this scenario may one day come to pass
