Widow who wanted to use her late husband's frozen sperm to have a baby sues LA fertility clinic 'for accidentally giving it to someone else'...
(more)
The 41-year-old had the sperm of her husband, - who suffered from the genetic disorder Marfan syndrome - frozen before his death in May 2004. The specimen was then stored at Reproductive Fertility Center in West Hollywood, to whom she paid a yearly storage fee.
However, when she went to the clinic in November 2014 ready to try and start having children, she was told the sperm had somehow been lost.

- I'm being super judgey here, and I suck for it, but if your dh died from a genetic disorder, why wouldn't you want to try with different material? 6-7-2016 12:25pm

- that is bizarre she wanted to have a baby that could have marfan. I know someone whose dad had that and her sister has it. Her sister has decided not to have kids. 6-7-2016 12:28pm
- she was likely planning to do pgd 6-7-2016 12:30pm
- i hope they didn't impregnate someone else with the sperm 6-7-2016 12:29pm
