试管授精严密检查程序 可避免错误发生

一名洋人老公和华人太太，通过试管婴儿技术产下了小孩，却发现孩子的肤色和他们截然不同。

 

新传媒新闻报道，试管授精摆乌龙。一名洋人老公和华人太太，通过试管婴儿技术产下了小孩，却发现孩子的肤色和他们截然不同。

 

脱氧核糖核酸检验更显示，孩子的DNA和爸爸不吻合。这意味着，医院过程中可能使用了其他男子的精子，来和卵子结合。夫妇要求康生生育中心给予他们交待，并已经向律师征询法律意见。

 

代表律师接受本台询问时表示，夫妻俩深受精神创伤、感到痛苦震惊。

 

他们也最关心孩子的健康和福利，不知道他是否有遗传性疾病。夫妻俩现在想要知道真相，这个错误怎么会发生，什么时候发生，谁应该负责？

 

康生医院接受本台询问时表示，暂时不予置评。据本台了解，卫生部规定所有医院，在进行试管受精时，必须确保配子来自正确的父母。

 

不过，具体步骤由个别医院来制定。在本地提供试管授精的另一家医院莱佛士生育专科医疗中心表示，通过标签和严密的检查程序，可以确保错误不发生。

IVF baby doesn't have father's DNA

 

A Singapore couple have discovered that their baby conceived through in-vitro fetilisation (IVF) is not biologically theirs - the child's DNA does not match the father's.

 

The Straits Times reported that the couple - a Singaporean Chinese woman and her Caucasian permanent resident husband - were first suspicious when they noticed that their newborn baby's complexion was noticeably different from theirs.

 

They were told by doctors at Thomson Fertility Centre - where they sought their IVF treatment - that the baby has type B blood, whereas their blood types are O and A.

 

 

It is not possible for a baby to have a different blood group from its parents, say doctors. The baby should have either blood type O or A not B.

 

The couple's lawyer, S. Palaniappan told AFP, "They discovered it a few days after the birth of the baby. They wereinformed by the paediatrician that the baby's blood group is B," he said.

 

 

"So they were a bit surprised because the mother is O and the father is A. Biologically it's not possible when you have such a combination."

 

Raising concerns, the parents and baby then went through a DNA test, which showed that the baby has the mother's DNA make-up, but not the father's.

 

The couple now want answers from the Thomson Fertility Centre and have also sought legal advice.

 

Palaniappan said his clients, who are looking after the baby, have already informed the Ministry of Health (MOH) about the matter.

 

MOH is investigating the matter.

 

The couple have been married for about 10 years and sought fertility treatment at the centre on the advice of their obstetrician.

 

IVF involves the retrieving of eggs from the wife and fertilising them with sperm from the husband in a laboratory, hence the term test-tube baby, before transferring the eggs back into her uterus.

 

According to Wikipedia, IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed.

 

The Straits Times reported that the couple underwent this treatment in January this year. The wife gave birth on Oct 1, about 15 days before the due date, following an emergency caesarian operation.

 

They were told that the baby had the type B blood, which raised their concerns.

 

The centre arranged for the couple and the baby to take two DNA tests last month - one from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) here and another from a laboratory in Hong Kong, where results would be known earlier - at the couple's request.

 

The Hong Kong tests showed that the DNA make-up of the child contained the DNA material of the mother, but not that of the father.

 

The result made them believe even further that there was a mix-up during the IVF. The result of the HSA test is pending.

 

"At present point in time, my clients want to ascertain the full facts of the case. To my mind, this is the first of its kind reported in Singapore," Palaniappan said in an AFP report.

 

He was unable to confirm the child's sex.

 

 

The options being considered include fostering out the child pending a resolution of the case.

 

There are currently 10 centres offering fertility treatment in Singapore.
