A trial is currently underway in Virginia to address the complex legal question of whether frozen embryos should be considered as property that can be divided and assigned a monetary value. The case involves a divorced couple who are in disagreement over the fate of two embryos created during their marriage.
The ex-wife, who is seeking to use the embryos for a chance at conceiving a biological child after cancer treatment rendered her infertile, is pitted against her ex-husband, who opposes becoming a biological father to another child.
