An appalling new High Court judgement: a widower has been granted permission to use an embryo created with his late wife to pursue surrogacy.
So the child will be born with female parent long dead, to then be removed from their mother at birth. Awful this is allowed @DHSCgovuk

Keep brain-dead women alive and use them as surrogate mothers, suggest doctors. Medical association apologises after academic argued it could become a common way to bring new children into the world
The Colombian Medical College published an article focusing on a recent paper about whole body gestational donation (WBGD), which involves women who have given prior consent being used as would-be surrogacy mothers after being declared clinically brain dead.
“What about all those brain-stem dead female bodies in hospital beds? Why should their wombs be going to waste?” asks the article, written by Norway-based academic Anna Smajdor.
Proj Smajdor, a professor of practical philosophy at the University of Oslo, argues that WBGD could become a common way to bring new children into the world as it avoids health risks for the eventual mother and some of the difficult social issues surrounding surrogacy as it is practised today.
She also says that male bodies could potentially be adapted to give birth, “thereby circumventing some potential feminist objections”.
