| Resumo: | One of the most significant developments in the area of reproductive health in Ireland is the Roche v. Roche [2009] case. The case concerned a woman who wished to implant cryopreserved embryos made with a former partner, against the partner’s wishes.

Therefore the courts in Roche had to decide whether embryos were “unborn” within the meaning of the Irish Constitution. |
