Currently, abortions past 24 weeks gestation are not permitted in New York or Massachusetts unless the mother\u2019s or child\u2019s health is at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The couple was apparently pregnant with the baby girl after multiple attempts to conceive via in vitro fertilization (IVF) were unsuccessful. Their obstetrician recommended genetic testing to ensure the child was healthy, and that\u2019s how the couple found out the child was not related to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Court records indicate that the couple was repeatedly reassured by the clinic that the test was incorrect and that the expectant mother \u201cshouldn\u2019t be concerned.\u201d They posited that the mother could have a genetically rare condition called \u201cmosaicism,\u201d where one person has two sets of DNA in their body. The clinic also insisted the mix-up wasn\u2019t possible because the defendant was \u201cthe only implant that entire week,\u201d the lawsuit states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ultimately, the couple opted to abort as a second genetic test indicated that the unborn baby was not genetically related to them. The Post reported that the couple feared \u201cthe emotional toll of a potential custody battle once the baby was born.\u201d With the window for legal abortion closing, they opted to kill the unborn child \u201cdays before it would have been illegal to do so,\u201d court records say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now the couple is suing the clinic for \u201cincomprehensible physical and emotional pain and suffering\u201d due to the \u201cerrors\u201d of having an embryo implanted that was not biologically theirs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the lawsuit, the couple desired four children and were hoping to conceive their fourth and final child via IVF. They had their first consultation with fertility specialist Majid Fateh on April 28, 2020, and attempted the IVF procedure three times between October 2020 and April 2021. <\/span><span>Court records state that Fateh told them that New York Fertility Institute \u201cis not a factory\u201d and that \u201che would oversee every aspect of the process for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDefendants\u2019 misconduct robbed Ms. Doe of the ability to carry her own child,\u201d the lawsuit says.\u00a0<\/span><span>\u201cMs. Doe and Mr. Doe are haunted by questions about what became of their embryos. They have needed to worry about whether their embryos were transferred to another unwitting couple, and whether they have another child or children out in the world whom they have never met?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fertility clinic mix-ups have been making headlines recently. Earlier this year, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/just-like-rape-lesbian-couple-sues-fertility-clinic-for-alleged-embryo-mix-up-say-they-wanted-a-girl-but-got-a-boy\"><span>lesbian couple sued<\/span><\/a><span> a New York-based clinic for mistakenly implanting a male embryo when they had specifically requested a baby daughter. The women did not abort the unborn child, but claim to experience emotional trauma over the error, which they described as being \u201cjust like rape.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
