Fertility Lab: Fertility Treatments

Home Dna Dept: They tried unsuccessfully for years, including intensive fertility treatments at three hospitals. Finally, the Toronto couple both Canadian citizens travelled to India where they could hire a surrogate. The eggs were donated by an unknown woman and fertilized by the husband s sperm; the surrogate was pregnant with twins on the second try, according to The Star. But the couple s joie de vivre was soon shattered when they went to the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi to apply for proof of Canadian citizenship for the twins to bring them home. DNA tests were requested which, to the couple s horror, showed the boy was not genetically related, suggesting an error or mix-up in the Indian fertility lab and all they wanted was a baby it didn t matter if it was a boy or a girl. There was joy and celebration, which continued until the babies, a boy and a girl, were born in March 2006. As reported in the news.
