13. Now THERE is a thorny issue!

I can see the fights over that one already. A couple sleeps together in college, and the woman gets pregnant. They split up, so the woman has the embryo removed and frozen. Fifteen years later she wants to have the embryo implanted again. What would the rights and responsibilities of the biological father be in that situation? Once the embryo is removed from the mother, does he have the right to demand that it be destroyed (after all, it's not a "her body" issue anymore)? Yikes, I don't look forward to the fight over this one.
