closely watched by legal experts. it evolves jacob sefransky. at the time his girlfriend was being treated for cancer and skid scd him to supply her with ferltsization for her eggs. welcome to both of you. make this clear: so one judge ruled in her favor, but now, what is the court said currently? >> well, we are right now appealed the judge's edition and we are asking the illinois appellate court to reverse their opinion and let jacob control when and how he becomes a parent and that decision will come within four to six months. >> you broke one your girlfriend and decided you didn't want to
11:12 pm
have this child, is that right? >> unfortunately, that is not correct. originally carla and i both you know due to the circumstances, and the short time interval between her diagnosis to her treatment, you know this was somewhat of a rush decision. and she was planning, the two of us were planning on freezing eggs separate, and embri embryos together. we had this because carla had some reservations whether or not our relationship was strong enough to make it through, whether she wanted me involved and her future family, you know if she were so to choose to have one. and then we decided to make an option together to make embryos because she wasn't comfortable enough to go with an anonymous donor. the plan first was to provide us options and choices one for carr pla to be able to make her own decision with her eggs and us to make a joint decision with
11:13 pm
embreeze owes. >> you donated the sperm in anticipation of that right? >> you know the term donation has been thrown around. we were both treated as individual patients. and did i want to america embryos with her absolutely and that's what i did set out to do. but in making of the embryos we were both informed that due to the fact we weren't a married couple, we had only been dating a while, we would need to consent about the use of the embryos use at a future time. carla was still planning to freeze eggs at a separate time. >> what changed your mind? >> the doctors anticipated a certain number of eggs were to be retrieved and they unfortunately didn't retrieve as many as they thought. the number was lower, effectively half. they made the recommendation within a moment that they felt fertilization of all would
11:14 pm
provide the greatest success rate. carla immediately felt that that was an acceptable idea and i agreed knowing that our consent forms that we had signed stated my consent would be needed at the future use of those embryos and i didn't really think my position on anything had changed. i just you know felt that ultimately carla was kind of wave withing her desire to have eggs separate. >> i'm confused, i'm sorry. explain to me. when did you make the decision you didn't want to do this? >> well, carla contacted me. years later. stating that she wanted to use the embryos. and at that point you know, i had had a lot of time to reflect on this. and you know it was a difficult decision. but i didn't feel the circumstances at which she wanted to use the embryos was one that i felt comfortable with and that wasn't something i was going to consent to. >> the distinction we're trying
11:15 pm
odraw john consent to creating the embryos to the use of them in the future. >> i'm just trying to figure out why you would go through process if you didn't want it to happen. >> well the circumstances at which the situation was made were underduress. >> she forced to you make this decision? >> i wund say force. it was a mutual decision to make im'em brie owes. she on the other hand decided not to be freeze eggs. in our decision there was a split between emg brie owes and egged. that was d ashes and embreeze owes and eggs. i planned to create embryos from the beginning but from the beginning i thought i was needed to consent for their use in the future. carla was very clear she didn't know if she wanted me to be potential father of her children in the future and that's why she thold thought eggs would provide her a good future, to have a
11:16 pm
family of her own outside of me being involved. and that is what broke down. >> we reached out to her and she didn't return our phone calls or her attorney. let me ask enthuse brian. is this a case of the law trying to catcher up with technology? >> i think it very much is. years ago before ivf even existed this situation would never have occurred where you could create embryos for possible future use. this is a circumstance where medicine is outpacing the law, technology is and we think law is behind the curve on this because jacob as we've said before should have the right to control when and how they become a parent. and in this case that decision answer being taken away from him. we think it's even further unjust because the only document that the two of them signed explicitly said they needed to consent to the use of the embryos. again we would distinguish between the consent of creating
11:17 pm
them and using them in the future. who distinct events. in the future you you are a different person in a different circumstance in your life. you shouldn't be held to an agreement in the future when your feelings could be totally different. >> i have one pretty simple question jacob. i assume you wouldn't enter into an agreement like this ever again? >> you know in retrospeblght i would definitely have done -- retrospect i would definitely have done things differently. carla would attest to that too. the information given us at the time i feel the decision should have been held. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> dust storm in iran, dust roared through tehran, with winds up to 60 miles per hour. according to state tv. at least four people died and 30 others injured.
