The case of Re G v Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority & Anor [2024] EWHC 2453 (Fam) raises important legal and factual issues about posthumous conception that have not previously been considered by the English Court. This case, in which Louisa Ghevaert Associates was instructed by the applicant mother, concerned the storage and use of a young woman's eggs, who tragically died in June 2023 within six months of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. The mother sought permission to use her deceased daughter's 20 frozen eggs to have a baby through surrogacy.
