A widow who is trying to stop her late husband's sperm being destroyed is taking her case to the High Court today. Legal representatives of Beth Warren, 26, will ask a judge to rule on her challenge to a time limit imposed by the fertility regulator.
Widow Beth Warren has said coping with the personal trauma of her loss of her late husband made it impossible for her to make any decisions about her future within the timescale, and wants it extended so she can make a choice in her own time.
However the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has said it has "no discretion to extend the storage period beyond that to which her husband gave written consent".
The issue will now be determined by family division judge Mrs Justice Hogg. Although the case is to be heard today, Ms Warren's solicitor, James Lawford Davies, said it was "unlikely" a ruling would immediately follow due to the case's complexity.
