wait a minute here: if you are a caucasian couple or any other nationality for that matter, and you go to a fertility clinic with the idea/hope that you can have your OWN child (with assistance from the clinic) I dont think its unreasonable for them to expect that the baby they end up with has the proper DNA. Sorry.


If parent A and parent B pay $$$$$ to have X clinic assist them in creating baby C, baby C should CERTAINLY have DNA from parent A and parent B. not parent D,E,F,G,H,I,J etc.......come ON!! this isnt about RACE. This is about expecting predictable results from a fixed set of circumstances. Think about it: this could have had repercussions down the line if one or both of the parents had a documented physical condition that could have potentially been passed on to the child or possibly the child could have had a condition that neither parent contributed to. Either way, the Clinic bears responsibility for failing to fulfill its duty. AND for fraud IMO, in passing off a baby as the bona fide progeny of two prospective parents when in fact there is no proof that such is the case. Thats just WRONG IMO.
