25-01-2000: HFEA to permit use of frozen eggs in fertility treatment

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) today announced its decision to allow the Assisted Reproduction and Gynaecology Centre (ARCG) the carefully controlled use of frozen eggs in fertility treatment. This means for example, a woman who risks becoming infertile following cancer treatment, could use the eggs that she had removed and frozen.
