• Carolyn and Sean Savage
• Utilized in vitro fertilization because of difficulty conceiving a baby
• In vitro fertilization was a success

DAMN

• Fertility clinic made a mistake and implanted another couple’s embryos into Carolyn
• It’s likely that the Fertility Clinic will have a lawsuit against them

My DAMN Opinion:

This is definitely a story that sends a message to fertility clinics around the world, and also makes couples aware of some of the risk involved in this procedure.  There are other risk, but there is the possibility of a mix-up if the fertility clinic mishandles embryo’s.  Fertility clinics need to take the necessary steps to ensure embryo’s are not mishandled, or they could end up with a similar situation that could lead to a major lawsuit.
