The parents of a deceased 22-year-old have been told they cannot store his sperm for future use despite his girlfriend's expressed desire to carry his baby, it has been revealed.
The failed bid comes after his parents made the application to the Court of Protection, after their son - who cannot be named - suddenly collapsed while playing sport, and was unconscious in intensive care after suffering from a stroke.
In an urgent "out-of-hours" hearing on November 3, Mr Justice Poole considered the application after it was heard that his girlfriend had "expressed a desire to carry his child ".
