re: #34 goddamnedfrank

I have two major reservations about this story.

1.) Are we 100% sure that the bank gave them a different donor’s semen? My immediate suspicion was that the mother may have not wanted to admit she cheated on her partner, and that the bank made for a rather convenient scapegoat.

2.) This wouldn’t be the first time that an ostensibly “white” mother and father produced a phenotypically dark skinned child, e.g. Sandra Laing. The mother may well be leaping to an erroneous conclusion.

Do your reservations take into account the fact that the clinic refunded some of their money and sent a letter apologizing for the mix-up, per the filed complaint - a claim that is incredibly easy to prove at trial and would be foolish to make if untrue?
