Legal Action and Emotional Impact
Krystena Murray filed a lawsuit against Coastal Fertility Specialists after discovering the clinic mistakenly implanted another couple's embryo, resulting in her giving birth to a baby boy who was not biologically hers.
Murray, who had dreamed of motherhood, described the experience as emotionally and physically devastating, leading her to bond with the child before being forced to give him up to his biological parents.
Clinic Response and Legal Proceedings
Coastal Fertility Specialists apologized for what they termed an "unprecedented error" and stated they have implemented new safeguards to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Murray's attorney, Adam Wolf, highlighted the rarity and severity of such mistakes in fertility clinics, emphasizing the life-altering consequences for patients. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages.
