In Ohio, hundreds of hopeful parents are on edge. A storage tank malfunctioned last weekend at a fertility center in Cleveland, possibly destroying more than 2,000 frozen eggs and embryos.
The eggs and embryos were in a long-term storage tank at University Hospitals Fertility Center when the temperature started getting warmer. Some, like the ones belonging to Amber and Elliott Ash, had been there for years. When Elliot was diagnosed with cancer, they planned ahead so they could have a family one day. Now, they are stunned.
"I'm not sure what to do next," said Elliott. "I know that when I had cancer we saved my sperm and we thought well maybe we'll go back for another retrieval and do another embryo implantation."
