US Edition'Something wasn't right': Wrong sperm given to UK families by IVF clinics in northern Cyprus
DNA tests found multiple British families at the clinic were given donors they did not choose, BBC reported.
- On Tuesday, British families alleged negligence at an IVF clinic in Northern Cyprus, claiming children were conceived using incorrect donor sperm or eggs.
- Beth and Laura spent £16,000 at the Dogus IVF Centre around 15 years ago and selected donor Finn for both children, but later discovered they were not conceived with his sperm.
- DNA tests confirmed the children were not conceived with Finn's sperm; the siblings were not biologically related to each other, contrary to the parents' expectations.
- Responding to the allegations, Dr. Firdevs Uguz Tip denied responsibility for sperm orders, while investigations identified seven children affected across families treated by the clinic.
- Northern Cyprus lacks an independent fertility regulator to monitor clinics and revoke licenses, unlike Britain, leaving families vulnerable in a popular medical tourism destination.
