In Texas a divorced couple are headed to the state’s Supreme Court to settle a fight about what happens to three frozen embryos that the couple created before the divorce.

Years ago, Augusta and Randy Roman consulted with fertility specialists and created three embryos, in hopes that they would become parents.  After the embryos were created, Randy had a very sudden change of heart and decided he wasn’t sure about the marriage, and was less sure that they should go forward with a potential pregnancy.

The Romans divorced and a long legal battle began about what would happen to the now frozen embryos.  Randy says that he has moral objections to them being used and wants them destroyed.  Augusta, 46, wants to become pregnant using the embryos and says they may be her last chance at having a biological child.

Augusta has previously won a ruling that would allow her to use the embryos, but Randy quickly appealed and the Texas Court of Appeals blocked her from having the embryos implanted.  Augusta has appealed and now the case is headed to the Texas Supreme Court.
