In December 2013 doctors of one of the Italian hospitals
made a serious mistake. Doctors of clinic for reproductive medicine made a
muddle of embryos that might be transferred to two women. Perhaps it is the
first such case in the history of reproductive medicine. Due to the sameness of
patients’ surnames they were implanted not their embryos. Mistake was found in April
when doctors conducted genetic analysis of embryos. After that clinic workers conducted
an internal investigation and established the fact of glaring mistake.
In such circumstances, there was only one way out - women
had to become surrogate mothers for each other. After children’ birth they will
make a simple exchange because babies are 100% gen-related to their biological
parents. But unexpected situation was happened – one of the women had a
miscarriage and twins she carried died...
The second couple, who is expecting birth of "not
their" twins, don’t want to give them despite the fact that they are not gen-related.
Italian law did not know such conflicts - Italian legislation recognizes child's
mother a woman who carried him and gave birth. It is expected that children will
born in September. To be continued…
