A WEST Wiltshire woman today lost her last desperate legal battle for the right to use her frozen IVF embryos to have a baby.
Natallie Evans, 33, of Bowmans Court, Melksham had endured defeats in the British courts and faced an order to destroy the embryos, because her ex-fiance withdrew his consent to use them.
With time running out for the use of her stored embryos, she turned to the European Court of Human Rights.
But today the Strasbourg judges backed the British law requiring a partner's approval at every stage of the process.
The verdict effectively signals the final destruction of the six embryos which held Ms Evans's only hopes of having a child that is genetically hers.
