TORONTO — A divorced woman cannot have a purchased frozen embryo implanted over the objections of her ex-husband, Ontario’s top court ruled on Friday in a ground-breaking case. D.H., who is in her late 40s, wants the second embryo implanted so the couple’s son would have a biological sibling. His ex-wife, he argued, would be committing a criminal offence if she had the embryo implanted over his express objection. For her part, D.H. argued his consent was no longer required because they were no longer spouses. Instead, the higher court said various provisions of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act and related regulations were in play.
