British 60-year-old wins legal fight to give birth to grandchild!

A 60-year-old British woman won the legal battle to give birth to her own grandchild. The woman wants to use the frozen eggs of her daughter (28), who died of bowel cancer in 2011.

The woman claimed she wants to honor the last dying wish of her daughter, that her mother to carry her baby and have her parents raise the child.

Giving the court's ruling, Lady Justice Arden said the challenge succeeded at three levels.

"First, there was on the face of it the misstatement of certain of the evidence about A's consent by the committee.

"Second, even if what the committee meant was that there was a lack of effective consent because the appellants could not show that A received information on certain matters, the decision was flawed because the committee pointed to the lack of certain evidence without explaining why A needed to receive that information and give that consent.

"The third level is that the committee did not ask the prior question of what information the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act required to be given to A in the circumstances of her case."

The daughter was quoted as saying by the court, referring to in vitro fertilization, that, “They are never going to let me leave this hospital, Mum; the only way I will get out of here will be in a body bag. I want you to carry my babies. I didn’t go through the IVF to save my eggs for nothing.”

“I want you and Dad to bring them up. They will be safe with you. I couldn’t have wanted for better parents. I couldn’t have done without you.”
