Complete title of story:
Judge awards frozen embryos to 42-year-old doctor who froze fertilized eggs with boyfriend who now says he no longer wants children after lengthy legal battle
The way I see it, he may not want children, but he has children. Maybe very very very very young children, to the nth degree, but still children, as just watch.
Boyfriend engaged in an act of procreation, albeit novel, the effect of which was merely delayed. She exercised her option to continue the pregnancy. He can’t make her NOT exercise the option any more than he could compel her to have an abortion.
Unless he had a contract in advance relieving him of financial responsibility, he is going to be a daddy with all of the obligations that entails. Even if he did have such a contract, I don’t think a judge would uphold it because there will be a child now who is biologically his and who will need support.
Caveat emptor.
