The Savages are absolutely saints, and they should be credited for what they have done, as well as what they have suffered due to the physician's and/or lab's mistake.

If I know two people who have had this happen or been party to a mix up- PERSONALLY KNOW THEM - I'd say it is far more common than you think. Thankfully my IVF clinic does a 5 point check. There could be no error. Sad for everyone. You love a baby you give birth to like it is your own - DNA does not matter. The Savages are saints on earth. I will forever look to them as inspirational and loving.......

All I want to know is what kind of relief this woman will be receiving from the clinic. In a CNN interview she said she plans to use a surrogate to carry her next child. Maybe the clinic can cover those expenses. I don’t mean to be rude but 1 in a million? hehe Human error is much greater than that.

Yes,I do agree that human error is greater than that in many ways; however, for this particular story, I obtained by numbers from the American Fertility Association's Press Release located as follows: http://www.theafa.org/press/releases/the_american_fertility_association_responds_to_alleged_embryo_mix_up_case_i.
