Lesbians sue over IVF twins

AN IVF doctor swore in horror after he mistakenly implanted two embryos into a lesbian who wanted only one baby, a Canberra court was told during a landmark case yesterday.

In the first case of its kind in Australia, a lesbian couple is suing a prominent Canberra obstetrician, Sydney Robert Armellin, for more than $400,000 in the ACT Supreme Court for implanting two embryos.

The procedure, which used sperm from a Danish donor, resulted in the birth of twin baby girls, who are now aged three.

Their mothers, whose combined income is about $120,000, want $398,000 to cover the costs of raising one of the girls, including fees for a private Steiner school in Melbourne.

They also are seeking about $15,000 to compensate them for time off work, plus an additional amount for medical expenses.

Minutes before the procedure in 2003, the birth mother told Dr Armellin she wanted only one embryo implanted.

Dr Armellin said he warned the woman she could still have multiple pregnancies if the embryo split and she replied: ?Do not even joke about it, I only want one,? according to her barrister, Hugh Marshall, SC.

The obstetrician did not tell the embryologist of the woman?s wishes before the procedure.

Dr Armellin told the court he realised two embryos had been inserted only moments after the embryologist had sent them down the catheter. ?I said I understand she only wanted one embryo ? the embryologist said no, there are two, she signed for two. (I said) oh f?.?

Dr Armellin agreed it was a mistake: ?Yes, it was an incorrect procedure, I acknowledge that.?

The birth mother, who cannot be identified, said she suffered nausea during pregnancy and in the latter stages could move around only with a stick.

She said she and her partner briefly considered adopting out one of the girls but quickly dismissed the idea as absurd.

?The primary consideration was that adoption shifted the burden of responsibility for this situation on to the children,? she said tearfully. ?The burden is not the children?s to bear. The burden is ours alone.?

She said she enjoyed some aspects of the pregnancy, such as decorating the girls? nursery, but other parts were distressing, including purchasing a pram. ?It was like the last frontier of acceptance to spend hundreds of dollars on a pram.?

When I first read this story I was very annoyed. Firstly Lesbians should not be raising children, it is asking for trouble. Could you imagine going to school and the kids at school find out that your parents are lesbians? School is hard enough for kids without that bullshit on top of it all.

Secondly we have woman all over the world that would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to have only one child, these bitches are having two beautiful twins and they want to sue for it, give me a break, they don?t deserve any children.
