Woman fights legal battle to get pregnant with her own grandchild

LONDON, May 8 (UPI) -- A U.S. woman is waging a court battle to gain custody of her late daughter's eggs from Britain so she can become pregnant with her own grandchild. The 59-year-old woman, identified only as Mrs. M, is asking Justice Duncan Ouseley to overturn a 2014 ruling from the British Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority's statutory approvals committee, which last year refused to allow the woman to have her daughter's eggs taken out of storage. Mrs. M's daughter had her eggs frozen at IVF Hammersmith in London after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2008, but the HFEA said she did not fill out a document detailing her wishes for the eggs prior to her death in 2011. The High Court heard the mother is seeking to have the eggs shipped to New York, where a fertility clinic has agreed to help her have the eggs fertilized by a sperm donor and implanted in her womb. The court heard Mrs. M and her husband requested anonymity to protect the privacy of "an as yet unborn child." The couple said their daughter would be "devastated" to learn her eggs could not be used. "I have never heard of a surrogacy case involving a mother and her dead daughter's eggs," said fertility expert Dr. Mohammed Taranissi of the ARGC clinic in London. "It's fair to say that this may be a world first."

Why girl must perform naked to pass art class?

An angry mum has blasted a university art class and its leader after claiming her daughter has to pose naked if she wants to pass the course. Visual arts students at the University of California in San Diego are apparently required to go nude in front of a 20-strong class or fail part of the course, the angry mother told KGTV-TV. But although she's livid at the idea, the academic department has hit back, denying that's the case.Faculty members and former students have defended the course, adding that "performing the self" class participants are at liberty to employ figurative nudity to pass the final. The university professor Ricardo Dominguez has been lighting his classroom by candlelight and baring it all alongside his students as part of the assignment for 11 years and never received any complaints, he told the TV station. It’s a standard canvas for performance art and body art," he explains.

"If they are uncomfortable with this gesture, they should not take the course. "To blanketly say, 'You must be naked in order to pass my class' — it makes me sick to my stomach."The student's mother's ire was raised by a note in the syllabus on an 'erotic self' assignment, requiring students to "create a gesture that traces the outlines or speaks about your 'erotic self(s)'."The class description on the Department of Visual Arts website says: "Using autobiography, dream, confession, fantasy or other means to invent one’s self in a new way, or to evoke the variety of selves in our imagination, the course experiments with and explores the rich possibilities available to the contemporary artist in his or her own persona. “The student's mum, who is not identified, accused the professor of "perversity" and said the final test was "just wrong”. Facebook users have responded to the local TV channel's page, with many expressing outrage.
