This lady had cancer treatment that rendered her infertile and was trying to have embryos that were fertilized with her ex-husband's sperm implanted, but he did not give consent. Since both partners did not consent, the embryos are to be destroyed. linky (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6530295.stm)

I agree with the decision, as no one should be forced to become a parent against their will, but I can't help think that there must have been some way they could have worked things out, perhaps they could have signed some agreement absolving him of any responsabilities of actually being a parent and just acted as a sperm donor.
