Unable to make babies on their own, more than two dozen couples went to a top-flight fertility clinic in the Netherlands for help.
But the clinic has announced it may have been leaving old sperm on its tools for more than a year – and now those couples face the prospect of raising a stranger’s biological child.
“The chance is small, but cannot be ruled out” that women were “fertilized by sperm cells from a man other than the intended father,” officials at the University Medical Center in Utrecht said in a statement this week.

It’s the “Jizya” tax?
Wrong thread, oops.
How can medical professionals not sterilize their equipment?
Butlerian jihad time?
Are these folks going to a doctors office or a porn movie set?
So, they’re using Abby Normal sperm?
Any man who lets his wife be inseminated by artificial equipment is a cuckold.
Good thing they went to a “top fertility clinic.”. Just imagine if they didn’t.
Yup.
Though when the new rankings come out they may drop out of the top 25.
Oops. I thought you said “Einstoned”. Sorry about that.
IVF is an inherently evil procedure because it results in the deliberate destruction of children.
But the public was sold on the idea as being "compassionate" toward couples who weren't able to conceive naturally. The idea took hold in our decadent materialistic culture where children are viewed as a human "right" or "choice" - not as miraculous gifts from our Creator, who should have rights of their own.
Anyone considering IVF should be made fully aware of what is involved ... i.e., that even if the "treatment" is successful, some of your children who are conceived will be killed.
I remember reading of the arrest of a fertility doctor in UTAH several years ago. It seemed all the women who went there had children who looked like HIM instead of donors.
I'm getting a whiff of lawyer-speak, myself. Making that claim deflects from the obvious, that some doctor with a Ghengis Khan complex was impregnating them all with his own, errr... genetic legacy. If they actually had failed to sterilize equipment, there would be potentially far greater liability, so such an admission if true would be very damaging legally. Ergo, it's not true, it's plausible deniability and deflection.
Yep, I remember hearing about that case. The doctor used his own sperm rather than the supposedly screened sperm donor sperm.
You wonder how carefully these clinics handle sperm.
SURE it was....
“Law & Order” did a show with this plot, almost two decades ago. Maybe more ... I used to watch it when my Tom (who is now 20) was an infant, but it was in reruns on cable then.
