Widower wins landmark case to use embryo made with late wife for surrogate baby

The husband of a woman who died suddenly while pregnant with twins has won a landmark case to use an embryo made with his late wife for a surrogate baby.

Ted Jennings, 38, and his late wife, Fern-Marie Choya, who died aged 40 in 2019 after her womb ruptured while she was 18 weeks pregnant with twin girls, had undergone a number of IVF cycles since 2013.

Mr Jennings, of Highbury, north London, wants to use the couple's one remaining embryo, which was created using his sperm and his wife's eggs in 2018 and is in storage at a private fertility clinic in London, to use "in treatment with a surrogate mother".
