In a statement the fertility regulator said:
"The HFEA has every sympathy with Mrs Warren and the tragic circumstance
in which she finds herself.
"However, the law on the storage of gametes is clear and the HFEA has no discretion to extend
the storage period beyond that to which her husband gave written consent."
