A couple in Florida has sued a fertility clinic, claiming that their embryos were mixed up during in vitro fertilization. DNA tests revealed that the baby born was not biologically related to the couple.
A major scandal claim regarding in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in the state of Florida, USA, has been taken to court. A couple has sued the IVF center, alleging that their embryos were mixed up during the treatment process.
PROVEN BY DNA TEST
Despite the mother and father being white, the baby born to them having a different ethnic appearance raised suspicions for the family. Subsequent DNA tests revealed that the baby was not the biological child of the couple.
THEY EXPERIENCED GREAT TRAUMA
The family claimed that an embryo belonging to another patient was mistakenly transferred to them, expressing that the process they went through turned into a significant trauma for them. In the lawsuit, the couple emphasized that they suffered severe emotional and psychological damage, arguing that the IVF center was grossly negligent.
HOW THE PROCESS WILL BE COMPLETED IS A MATTER OF CURIOUSITY
The incident has reopened discussions about the oversight and safety processes in IVF practices, and the outcome of the legal proceedings is eagerly awaited.
