A woman has abandoned an attempt to harvest her seriously-ill partner’s sperm because of “insinuations in the press” that she is only after the man’s money.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, wanted the Court of Protection to grant her the right to take some of her unconscious partner’s sperm.

Her partner was described as a retired investment banker.
Yesterday, the woman, known only as AB, abandoned her legal bid citing media intrusion as the reason behind her decision.

Newspapers including the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and Independent covered an earlier court hearing.
