Sympathy for widows
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority yesterday warned of the dangers of loosening the law on fertility treatment.
It sympathised with widows such as Diane Blood, 30, who last week lost her High Court battle to have a child using her late husband's sperm because she did not have his written consent, and a similar case revealed yesterday, but said: "You need consent at all times."
