 Cases of dispute over frozen embroyos, such as Evans v. the United Kingdom, foreground issues of privacy and control over one’s genetic material – especially, whether there is a right not to become a genetic parent (again, here we set aside the question of the moral status of the embryo). In the Evans case, a couple produced embryos through IVF, intending to procreate together, but separated before the embryos could be implanted. Subsequently, the man involved asked that the embryos be destroyed; the law required that both parties consent for the procedure to continue. The woman brought a legal challenge, hoping to proceed with implantation.
