A woman who wants to use her dead daughter's frozen eggs to give birth to her own grandchild has won a Court of Appeal battle. The 60-year-old woman was appealing against the UK regulator's refusal to allow her to take her only child's eggs to a US clinic. Her daughter, who died in 2011, was said to have asked her mother to carry her babies.

The mother lost a High Court case last year. She was subsequently granted permission to challenge the decision at the Court of Appeal in London, before a panel of three judges.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    The woman knew she was dying and saved her eggs specifically for her mother to use. The issue is they forgot to get all the paperwork in order before she passed.

    This isn't harvesting anything from a dead anyone. So no there is no WTF.

    Yeah still weird. I am going to have to still give it a WTF and insist it is not good to bring a child into the world like that.

      But why should YOUR PERSONAL OPINION matter? It doesn't hurt you and you have no evidence that the kid will be screwed up.

        You assume that I think my opinion matters because I have an opinion, but I don't think that. Opinions are like assholes, everyone got one.
