Mom Battles Court For Right To Carry Dead Daughter's Child

A 60-year-old woman wanting to use her dead daughter’s frozen eggs to give birth to her own grandchild has urged judges to allow her to continue her legal battle to do so.

The woman, known only as Mrs M, lost a case that she and her husband, Mr M, 59, had brought before the High Court last June, following the death of their daughter from cancer in 2011.

Today, two Court of Appeal judges were asked to give the couple permission to challenge the decision.
