A woman enlists the assistance of a male friend to donate sperm to fertilize her eggs and enable her to become pregnant. A number of eggs are fertilized. After several attempts at implantation, the woman becomes pregnant and delivers a healthy child. The biological father seeks access rights to the child, which is contested by the mother. The mother seeks financial support for the child, which is contested by the biological father. The biological father requests that the remaining "pre-embryos," which are in cryogenic storage at a fertility clinic, be destroyed. The mother takes the position that the embryos belong to her to do with as she chooses, including having them implanted.
