downzy Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/10/ohio_sperm_bank_black_donor_mix_up_can_a_white_mother_with_a_biracial_baby.htmlInteresting incident where a white woman used a sperm bank and was given the wrong "product." Thought she was getting a white man's seed and was mistakenly given a black man's sample instead. Oops!I get that she should get her money back as the company fucked up, but suing for "emotional distress, medical expenses (do black babies cost more to give birth to?), and other economic and non-economic losses" is ridiculous. Moreover, what kind of message does this send to her two year old daughter? "You're a different shade than I expected sweetie and hence why Mommy doesn't love you as much." FFS!

Jakey Styley Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 That's a pretty big fuck up on part of the sperm bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) I read about this on a right-winged Swedish news site I follow a few days ago. They should adopt away the kid and get a new one if they aren't happy. Edited October 4, 2014 by Satanisk_Slakt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I heard this on the radio a few days ago. The parents complained that they had to "take her to a black neighborhood to get a good haircut." It's quite the fuck up though by the sperm bank but 2 years later it's too late to say "well, actually y'know I don't want my little black baby any more". The funny/fucked up part is that it's lesbian parents, who you'd think would have put up with a fair amount of prejudice in their lifetimes and then they turn around and do it to their own kid. "Well yes sweetie I love the half of you that's my DNA but the other half is wrong because it's black." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff27 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 She should just be happy she has a kid. Plenty of people in the world who want a kid but for various reasons can't.Disgraceful in my mind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Too bad she didn't find out sooner so she could have aborted it. Too many unloved kids in the world stuck in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I read about this the other day. AFAIK they love the kid it's more that being a pair of box munchers living in Bumfuck, USA combined with a black kid ain't going down well for them. Let's not sensationalise the story.

Too bad she didn't find out sooner so she could have aborted it. Too many unloved kids in the world stuck in the system.Y'know it really doesn't reflect well on your high moral stance regarding this topic that you also deem it a worthy topic for cheap satire, come on man.

Satanisk_Slakt Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I can only too well imagine the disappointment they felt after the birth. I'd agree with them on the suing, but maybe they should have done it right after the birth and not years later. I wonder what the kid will feel when she hears about these things later in life. Would be interesting to hear what she'd have to say in 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things they'll claim in court are likely the very things you would never want your child to hear ("she's not how we pictured," "who she is has been a burden to us," etc.). It seems like they care more about their own sense of loss or need for justice than the welfare of the child in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the sperm bank would agree to settle it in private and give you some economic compensation for the mistake that they could just put into their daughters college fund or whatever without telling her where they are from. I don't know, the whole thing just makes me feel a bit uneasy for the sake of the daughter when she's older and finds out about all of this.

DieselDaisy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 ''Shock and disappointment'' that she turned black; suing the place - just the comments on this board show we are stuck in the dark (no pun intended) ages. This is a baby, as any other, which belongs to the mother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
