The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a woman – who has since become infertile after surviving an aggressive form of cancer – may not use the embryos she had frozen before treatment to have a baby without her ex-husband’s consent and must donate them instead. During their divorce proceedings, Terrell asked the Maricopa County Superior Court to prevent Torres from having the embryos implanted. The Arizona Court of Appeals overturned that decision in March, ruling that Torres' rights to have children prevailed over her ex-husband’s objections to becoming a parent. The high court, serving with only five of seven justices, unanimously agreed that the embryos should be donated to a third-party. It was clear that the only options available to the trial court were to enforce the contract and donate in this situation."
