The fertility services world has roiled with several shocking claims in a little more than a month.
USA TODAYMore than one in 10 women seek fertility-related services from almost 500 clinics in the U.S.
Joseph Cartellone discusses learning his daughter was not biologically his after the family took a DNA kit test. His claim against a fertility clinic is one of three filed in the last two months."It's hard to explain the shock and agony when you find out that someone you love and care for, your own daughter, is not genetically related to you," Cartellone said."I never would have imagined a Christmas gift, a home DNA kit, would unveil this kind of abuse of our trust.
On July 10, California couple Anni and Ashot Manukyan filed their own suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing the same accusations.They went to court to gain custody of their infant son, one of the twins born to the New York mother. The Cartellones underwent fertility treatment in 1994, according to the lawsuit. A paternity test confirmed the finding of the DNA test.The Christ Hospital and Ovation Fertility in Cincinnati also are named in the Cartellone lawsuit.
