The UK fertility regulator HFEA has said that any change in the law on sperm donation is down to the UK government.”It’s about each person who provides an egg or sperm having that autonomy to consent and make that decision to whether they’re happy for a child to be born in treatment,” said Rachel Cutting, HFEA’s director of compliance.”Once the embryos in the uterus, in the woman’s womb, there can’t be a withdrawal of consent for that.”The way that the law is written is that consent can be withdrawn from up to that point.”We can look at it further, but…
