Woman Sues Doctor Who Inseminated Her with Wrong Sperm


— July 15, 2004

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) � Laura Howard was hoping her trip to a fertility specialist would make her dream of a child with the man she loves come true. But as she left the office, the doctor suddenly ran out to the lobby and called her back.

There was a grave mistake. Instead of being inseminated with the sperm of her fiance, she received a vial of semen from another man.

Howard learned she was pregnant on June 1, about two weeks after her visit to the clinic. She is now haunted by questions: Who is the father? Does he have any deadly diseases? Will her fiance stand by her, knowing the baby likely is not his?
