First IVF baby's 40th birthday: How a tiny girl changed science and the world

Only 7 percent of social egg freezers have returned for fertility treatment at a large European center
Despite dramatic uptake in the numbers of women electing to freeze their eggs as insurance against an anticipated age-related fertility decline, there is still little that clinics can predict about outcome based on real-life experience.

Can a defacto partner gain legal instruction for a clinic to collect sperm from a deceased male
Summary
A court in Queensland, Australia instructed a clinic to collect and store sperm from a deceased male for the exclusive use of his then de-facto partner.
Comment
In this news story, the court ordered the sperm of a young recently deceased male be collected and stored with his parents consent and ordered the de-facto partner the exclusive use of that sample. No doubt it was traumatic for her and his parents and for the clinic staff as well but is raises a few issues clinics may need to develop protocols for in case such a scenario arises rather quickly for them.|The first is consent being given by the court rather than the man himself. Secondly, any child will grow up without a father and thirdly, with upmost respect, the parents had to rapidly make a decision at a very difficult time with the hope that they in the future my be grandparents.| If the partner does use the sperm and achieves a pregnancy all will be well but if she elects not to use it and to discard it, then maybe the parents may seek to use the sample other ways. | Regardless, clinics may do well to establish some form of protocol on this eventuality.|
