Mother in sperm mix-up case wants hospital to pay child’s upkeep
inSing.com - 3 August 2012 2:49 PM | Updated 5:58 PM

She went for a fertility procedure to conceive and later found out that it was not her husband’s sperm that was used.

Now, she is seeking compensation from Thomson Medical Centre, saying she wants the institution to provide finances to raise her daughter until the girl reaches 21 years old.


The Chinese woman and her Caucasian husband underwent in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in January 2010, Lianhe Wanbao reported. The baby girl was born in October that year.


However, after delivery, the woman noticed that the baby girl’s skin colour was different. It was later found out that there was a sperm mix-up. The baby is blood-related only to the mother and not the father. The baby has blood type B, while the father is of type O and the mother, type A.


The baby would turn two years old this October. As the case involves a minor, there is a gag order on revealing her name and anyone related to her.


The parents apparently considered giving the child away, but the mother decided to keep the girl later.


The woman, who is represented by lawyer S Palaniappan, is suing Thomson Medical Centre, Thomson Fertility Centre, and two embryologists for special damages.


She alleged that the medical centre had been negligent and is asking the court to assess the amount of damages payable to her for personal losses, trauma and long-term costs for the child. She is also seeking up to S$700,000 in compensation for special damages.


The fertility centre, which is represented by Senior Counsel Lok Vi Ming, accepted responsibility for the clinical errors in the IVF process, but argued that paying for the upkeep of the child is against public policy and not recognised in law as damage claim.


A spokesperson from the fertility centre said that the admission of liability is not to be construed as admitting the woman’s claim for the upkeep of the baby until the child is financially self-reliant.


Last year, Thomson Medical Centre was fined the maximum amount of $20,000 for not complying with the IVF guidelines and breaching Paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act.


A pre-trial conference for the woman’s case is scheduled for next week.

Now these are greedy parents. The child is not invalid. If she does not want to pay for bringing it up she would give it up for adoption. Just sue for the error and not the upkeep.

In vitro? Must be an old SPG in her late 30s or 40s who thought that medical technology could fulfill her fantasies of becoming a mother, despite her stale and rancid eggs. :rolleyes:

You should know. Those kind of women who party, whore and booze around during their young and fertile years, who always have condoms or contraceptive pills in their handbags. Or those deadpan-serious career spinsters who focused on climbing the corporate ladder, and got cats or small breeds of dogs as an emotional substitute for babies.

If you think that's fucked up, in America they had a case of a male sperm donor whose sperm was used to impregnate a lesbian woman. He was later sued for child support.

Women only want two things from men: money and/or sperm. The so-called 'love/affection/romance/commitment' demanded by them is merely a vehicle to get their hands on your money and your sperm.
