Court rejects request for dead woman's embryos
A man surnamed Shen said he is now “in despair” after a court in Yixing, Jiangsu province, refused his request to inherit four frozen embryos that belonged to his son – who was his only child - and daughter-in-law who were killed in a car accident in March 2013.
His daughter-in-law, surnamed Liu, who was also an only child, planned to have the embryos implanted in Nanjing, capital of the province.
Shen filed the lawsuit against Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital after the management refused to transfer the frozen embryos. Shen and his wife also sued the parents of their daughter-in-law, with the aim of gaining control of the embryos.
