A campaign by a well-known baker, coffee house owner and magazine columnist has contributed to a re-think by the government with regard to the time limit for the use of frozen sperm or egg cells from a deceased partner in IVF treatment. Currently the limit is no longer than 2 years after a partner’s death. However, this will soon be increased to 5 years.
