Both certainly do (and should) have equal rights to the embryos, but without an agreement they're essentially in a holding pattern without end. I have a hard time imagining a court ruling for the destruction of the embryos against the father's will or allowing father to have them brought to term by a surrogate without the Mother's consent.
Sounds like scientists will be able to determine if there is an upper limit on how long they can be frozen.
The court can uphold the contract (both parties must agree to implant an embryo in a surrogate) without ordering the destruction of the embryos. In other words, the embryos remain frozen indefinitely without mutual consent. That is the part I thought was another interesting theological paradox.
