'It would be inhumane to destroy them': Widow battles to have her dead husband's baby using IVF embryos that were frozen before he died

Samantha Jefferies (left), 42, from East Sussex, was in the process of having three cycles of IVF on the NHS when her husband Clive (pictured together right on their wedding day), 51, died from a brain haemorrhage in 2014. 


At the time, the couple had endured two failed cycles of IVF and were awaiting a third attempt using their remaining frozen embryos. Appearing on today's This Morning, Samantha said she would now like to use these embryos to try to conceive, but she has been told that the clinic where they are being kept - Sussex Downs Fertility Centre - has to destroy them because they have been stored for the pre-agreed two years.
