It is controversial that a baby born in China through an in vitro procedure does not match the parents and genes following 8 years.
On the 21st, Bongmyeon Newspaper, a local media outlet, reported that a couple, Mr. Cheon (50), who gave birth to a son the following year through an in vitro procedure at the Reproductive Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in 2011, belatedly discovered that the child had no blood relationship with the couple in 2020. confirmed and reported that they had filed a lawsuit once morest the hospital.
The court recently ruled that the hospital should pay compensation of 640,000 yuan (regarding 120 million won), saying that it was recognized that the hospital had committed serious negligence in the process of in vitro procedures, such as using the wrong embryo.
During the trial, it was revealed that the hospital’s management of embryos was grossly inadequate. That the number was duplicated during the freezing storage process or the thawing record was not clear. The whereregardings of the Chun couple’s embryo, as well as who the child’s biological parents are, have not been confirmed.
Mr. Chun said, “The director of the reproductive center said that he might not find the embryo transfer record of our couple and that he might not confirm the child’s biological parents.” He only said irresponsible words.”
Professor Chung Ya-li of Peking University’s Department of Medicine said, “It was in the early stages of in vitro fertilization, so hospitals may not have been systematic in managing embryos.” The mismanagement of the side caused a big problem ethically.”
