Woman Sues Over Having to Use an Egg Donor
Do you truly need to be genetically related to a child to feel that they are your own? Well according to a United Kingdom woman, she needs the genetics.
According to reports the woman and her husband were attempting to do fertility treatments for nearly 5 years and, unlike the United States, they were put on a waiting list for treatments. However, the woman claims that when they started the process her eggs were in perfect condition and it was her husband’s sperm that was the issue, now she says that once they were finally able to get treatment the doctors discovered that her eggs were now too old and they would need to use an egg donor.
Unfortunately, they would have to wait for that too since egg donors in the UK are not easy to come by, so instead of waiting they went to Spain where the donors are anonymous and there is a lot more of them. Of course, since they did not want to wait any longer, they opted out of waiting for a blue eyed and went for the first available donor.
Now with only days left in her pregnancy she is publicizing her story and threatening to sue the fertility clinic in the UK because she is now having a son that will not be genetically related to her. A son, that she says, she will not love as much because there is no genetic relationship between them and for that she feels as though she has been shafted.
Obviously, this is a horrible experience that she went through and she has had to wait for a very long time for this baby. However, she should look at the bright side and look at the fact that she is about to give birth to a perfect baby. What does it really matter if there is not a genetic link? What are your thoughts?
