Hi all,

just looking at RTE news web page and saw "The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by a woman seeking to have three frozen embryos released to her for implantation"......

Just thought some people might be  interested in this.

I hear ya, Caitriona, implantation is the holy grail isn't it, if they could figure that one out a lot of our troubles would be over!  In some ways it's good that the whole issue is in the news but on the other hand, it's always the extreme/sensational end which makes the headlines, isn't it? It's the main reason why I could never tell my mother I was doing IVF - all she knew about it was from reports of women dying from OHSS. The fine detail gets lost in translation.

I do think this story does get us all thinking about our own feelings about the issue - personally, I've always taken the view that a lot of eggs and embryos produced naturally don't make it - sure, every embryo is a potential life, but as we all know it's a long and tricky journey from 1 cell to a baby. I do think of the embryos which we had transferred which didn't make it, but not about the others.
