WOMEN MAY SUE TWO CLINICS WHERE DOCTOR IMPLANTED 'FAKE EMBRYOS'
LONDON, January 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A group of 75 British women who placed their hopes of having children in the hands of two IVF clinics now say they will sue the clinics at which a doctor implanted fake embryos to reduce overhead and pay off debts.
Claimants also include men who stored frozen sperm samples at one of the clinics prior to undergoing radiotherapy which might render them infertile.
Embryologist Paul Fielding was sentenced this week to 18 months in prison after being convicted in December of three charges of assault causing bodily harm and eight of false accounting to obtain money by deception. When the scam was revealed, an audit found that many of the clinic's embryos had been tampered with and many others could not be accounted for.
