Couple sues Irish fertility clinic for contaminated embryos, lost chance to extend family.
A couple in Ireland is suing a fertility clinic, Human Assisted Reproduction Ireland Ltd, for damages over the contamination of their five embryos, which had to be destroyed before the wife's chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. The couple claims to have lost the opportunity to extend their family, but the clinic denies the claim as recoverable under law. The case, expected to last three weeks, is a novel matter not previously heard in Irish courts.
