Hundreds of IVF embryos donated 'without consent'

Hundreds of IVF embryos donated 'without consent' - Telegraph: Hundreds of British couples could have children that are biologically theirs living with other parents around Europe or across the world without knowing. A Spanish clinic runs an 'embryo adoption scheme' where spare embryos are donated to other women if the couple who created them do not know what they want to do with them or do not respond to correspondence from the clinic. Anonymity rules in Spain means the resulting children cannot trace their biological parents or vice versa.
