Two Canadian lesbians have been ordered to split the 13 vials of sperm they had in a sperm bank when they split. The "liquid assets" were forgotten when the British Columbian women separated in 2006, The Province reports. But in 2009, one of the women wanted to use the vials to have a baby after meeting a new partner. Her former partner wanted them to be destroyed instead. A judge has found the vials should be treated as shared property. "I do recognise that sperm used to conceive two children for two loving parents does not have the same emotional status as a vehicle or a home," the judge's finding reads. "There is no intent on my part to trivialize this matter."
