Woman who had IVF baby with a stranger's sperm suffers loss of "genetic affinity"; gets to claim 30 per cent of upkeep costs

That was the decision of the Court of Appeal, released on Wednesday, in what has been a long-running case between the couple and Thomson Fertility Centre's parent company Thomson Medical, and two embryologists.
In 2010, the woman and her husband went to the centre for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment. A stranger's sperm - instead of her husband's - was used to fertilise her extracted eggs.The mistake resulted in her giving birth to a baby girl with her genetic make-up but not her husband's.
As for how much the woman can claim, the Court considered that it should be set at 30 per cent of the financial costs of raising Baby P, with the precise quantum to be determined by the High Court.
