Flesh and Blood - Diane Blood

Diane Blood first hit the headlines in 1996 when she went to court to fight for the right to use her late husband's sperm to try for the child they had planned together before his sudden death from meningitis. Diane's case caused an ethical storm and was debated in the courts, in Parliament, and in the media. With huge public support, yet against almost impossible odds, she won on appeal and went on to have two miraculous little boys, Liam and Joel. For the first time, in her own words, Diane tells of the tears, the heartache and the joy, and the spiritual enlightenment she experienced throughout this landmark journey. Flesh and Blood asks many important questions and helps provide some of the answers. It shows how controversial policies are made that affect all our lives. Beyond that, it is the simple story of life, death, and an emotional roller-coaster that has been8 years of one woman's life.
