Popis:	Summary: A 37-year-old Melbourne woman underwent an emergency hysterectomy for severe postpartum haemorrhage after a twin delivery in 1990 where the pregnancy resulted from a GIFT (gamete intra-Fallopian transfer) procedure. Two additional embryos had been produced and stored frozen at the time of conception. She and her husband subsequently wished to receive their embryos for implantation into a surrogate to allow them to achieve their own genetic offspring. The 1984 Infertility (Medical Procedures) Act allowed them to either donate their embryos to another infertile couple or have them discarded. Neither of these options was acceptable to this couple. IVF (in vitro fertilization) surrogacy was their only chance of obtaining their genetic offspring, but this procedure was and is currently illegal. An IVF surrogacy procedure was carried out in 1993 but the surrogate failed to conceive.
