Baby from frozen embryo but it's not theirs, legal 'serious silence from ASL'

"From the report of our medical examiner the certainty of the exchange of embryos emerges and although it is a more unique than rare case, which occurred in Campania, no one, from the management of the competent local health authority to the president of the Region, has sought contact, a meeting, which we strongly hope for, with the family". This is what is stated by the lawyer Francesco Petruzzi, lawyer of the Neapolitan couple who, after undergoing in vitro fertilization, had a baby girl who was found not to be genetically their daughter.

"The story, more unique than rare, given that we went from the exchange in the cradle to the exchange in the uterus, - recalls Petruzzi - has also caused concern to the other couples assisted in the same procreation center who now strongly fear that some of their embryos have been mistakenly implanted in other patients. We consider this silence extremely serious and invite the management of the hospital, the ASL and the regional administration to convene a clarifying meeting".
