Case Currently Pending In Texas
A professional, married couple want to wait until their careers are fully on line before becoming parents, but don't want to gamble on an oops taking place. In order to avoid this, he has a vasectomy, but first they doctors harvest eggs from her and fertilize them with his sperm. They are than frozen until the time when they are ready to become parents.
Before this happens, the marriage falls apart and there's a divorce. Should the woman be awarded the fertilized eggs, allowing her to get pregnant at any time, and thus collecting child support from him, or should they be destroyed?
These eggs are not within her, so she's not being forced to have an abortion. She also not being forced to have children. Should he than be forced to be a father, tying him financially to her for as long as she decides to use the eggs, at 18-23 years per child?
