Rejected petition Change the Posthumous conception law.
I want to change the posthumous conception law in UK that says conceiving with someone's egg, sperm or embryo after they have died, is not allowed.
More details
I want to give people, who are in the position similar to mine, to have a choice and hope and not be limited by the law which is unfair in my opinion. In my position. my younger died when he just turned 18 and we wanted to care for his children even after his passing and this would give us hope and happiness, so please help us.
