Le
sort d'embryons congelés devant la Cour européenne
de justice
Mardi 15 février, Natallie Evans a saisi la Cour européenne
de justice après que la haute Cour de Londres ne lui ait pas accordé
le droit de réimplanter, en vue d'une grossesse, des embryons congelés
car son ex-conjoint s'y opposait (cf. revue de presse du 29/06/04). Les
embryons de ce couple étaient issus d'une fécondation in vitro.
