‘Horrendous Error’: Florida Couple Sues Fertility Clinic because Baby Isn’t Genetically Theirs
The couple seeks genetic testing for other children born at the clinic and a full accounting of their embryos after a suspected embryo mix-up, according to court filings.
- A Florida couple sued IVF Life Inc. and Dr. Milton McNichol after genetic tests showed their infant girl born Dec. 11 is not genetically theirs.
- About five years ago, Mills and Score began IVF and had three viable embryos frozen; an embryo purported to be theirs was implanted into Score on April 7, the lawsuit states.

- At an emergency hearing Wednesday, Judge Margaret Schreiber ordered detailed plans by Friday and the clinic preliminarily agreed to genetic testing as parties negotiate a settlement.
- Attorneys warned patients must consent to testing and privacy of other patients complicates notifications, while genetic tests with a four- to six-week timeframe affect timing, the couple wants testing funded for children born under the clinic's care in the past five years.
