EVANS v UNITED KINGDOM (APPLICATION NO. 6339/05) 7 MARCH 2006
Main Article Content
Abstract
A Woman’s Right to Motherhood?In 2000, a 29 year-old woman, Natallie Evans, and her partner, Howard Johnston who was aged 24, attended the Bath Assisted Conception Clinic, England to be treated together for infertility problems. During the course of the treatment, Natallie and Howard learned that she required an operation to remove her ovaries because of the presence of pre-cancerous tumours. The tumours were slow growing and she was informed that it would be possible to extract eggs from her ovaries prior to surgery, which could be fertilized in vitro (commonly known as IVF), providing she acted rapidly. The resultant embryos could be frozen for implantation at a later date.
