Uncharacteristically, Israel's
two Chief Rabbis were divided in
their response. Ashkenazi Chief
Rabbi Meir Lau supporting it
and Sephardi Chief Rabbi
Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron saying
that it should not be followed.
Women's organizations like
Na'amat and WIZO praised the
judgment, while a representative
of the Association for Men's
Rights complained that "the ju-
dicial system is hostile to men on
this subject."
Dani and his supporters por-
trayed Rutie's zeal to use the em-
bryos as little more than revenge
fed by the fury of a woman
scorned, while Rutie's support-
ers argued that she alone had
been wronged.
"From a logical standing, the
rule is that one shouldn't be a fa-
ther against one's will," said Dr.
Mordechai Halperin, director of
Jerusalem's Medical Center for
Fertility and Impotence. "What
tipped the scales, I think, was the
magnitude of the wrong that
Dani did to Rutie. It was an in-
justice of the first order."
The final irony is that Rutie
Nachmani may have to go to
court a fifth time to become a
mother. Israel's surrogacy law
(passed this year) requires both
parents to appear before a spe-
cial panel chosen by the Health
Ministry and express their agree-
ment to the embryos being im-
planted in a surrogate womb.
Dani clearly will not appear be-
fore that board (just as he was
absent from court last Thursday.)
But although Rutie's lawyer
has argued that the Supreme
Court's final judgment super-
sedes Dani's agreement, Profes-
sor Baruch Bracha of the Law
Faculty at Haifa University
points out that the justices them-
selves were divided. Even if Ru-
tie finds a surrogate in the
United States (as originally
planned), state laws there may
require Dani's express permis-
sion.
In short, it's entirely possible
that Israel, and the world, has
not yet heard the last of "Nach-
mani vs. Nachmani."
