A white woman who gave birth to a black baby through IVF and lost custody of the boy is now suing the fertility clinic she went through to have the procedure.
Krystena Murray, 38, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Coastal Fertility Specialists in Savannah, Georgia, a little over a year after she gave birth in December 2023.
Since she chose to have a white sperm donor, she was immediately caught off guard when her baby was dark-skinned.
After taking a DNA test and reaching out to the clinic, she learned that another couple's embryo was mistakenly placed in her uterus, Business Insider reported.
That didn't stop Murray, a single woman, from falling in love with and bonding with her newborn, even though he wasn't genetically hers.
But just five months after giving birth, Murray lost custody of the child to his legal parents - the couple who had provided the embryo to the clinic.
'I've never felt so violated,' Murray said during a press conference with Peiffer Wolf, the personal injury firm representing her.
She added that she felt 'emotionally and physically broken' after having to relinquish her rights to a child who she fully thought was hers until he was born.
Murray said she had wanted a child for a long time. She found a sperm donor who was a white man with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, physical features she shares.
She said she felt conflicted the moment she delivered the baby boy, knowing he wasn't hers but at the same time bonding with him.
'The birth of my child was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life, and honestly it was,' she told reporters on Tuesday. 'It was also the scariest moment of my life.'

IIRC—THIS IS AN EPISODE OF THE TV SHOW “BULL”.
That's the main reason I no longer do business with Coastal Fertility!
I now donate my baby batter exclusively to "Fly-by-Night Enterprises" (a subsidiary of "What, me worry?" Industries).

But that (the natural attrition of fertilized ova) is a natural, God-given state of affairs, and no moral opprobium attaches to it.
The deliberate and willful harvesting and fertilization of excessive numbers of ova (10-20 per treatment) with the premeditated intention to "dispose" of a large portion of them, on the other hand, is definitely not in compliance with the natural order of things.

Article states that she is a single woman 38 years of age.
So: Probably a "lez" - or maybe a high-powered attorney or otherwise driven businesswoman with no prospect of finding a man who meets her unrealistic demands ("has to prefer high-strung, aggressive, masculine, closes-million-dollar-deals-over-breakfast me over some shy, sweet, 19-year-old truckstop waitress dreaming of being a homemaker").
But that's just a guess.

Especially when conceived using "baby-batter" marked "donated by Mr. Abby Normal."

Your statement is equivalent to claiming that First Degree Homicide is legitimate and should be allowed because people can also slip on the ice, hit their heads, and die naturally all the time! Or because people die of natural causes, in their sleep, all the time!
Invalid comparison!
Regards,
My point is, not every fertilized egg, fertilized by normal, natural methods, is implanted on the uterus wall and develops. Scientists say about half do not.
“Your statement is equivalent to claiming that First Degree Homicide is legitimate...”
Is that the best you can do?

You claimed that one could call "Mother Nature" an abortionist - which is patently absurd. Hence my rejoinder (positing an equally absurd equivalency).

I learned that fact in 10th Grade Biology, back in the 1970s.
It is a true fact - without the slightest moral relevancy.

The moral relevancy pertains to the point people are saying that EVERY fertilized egg is a human being.
The fertilized egg is obviously the beginning of the process but is not the final part. The female has to conceive.
She should have had a DNA test done right after giving birth.
The baby wasn’t hers. Her only real remedy was to sue the clinic.
And don’t forget to mention the adorable “look at meeeee!” sign-off on every post.
