NEW
YORK -- A white woman who was the unwitting surrogate
mother for a black baby has settled her lawsuit against
a fertility clinic that mistakenly implanted a black
couple's embryo in her uterus. A judicial hearing
officer who was to preside over the trial said yesterday
that lawyers for Donna and Richard Fasano and for the
clinic and its operators told him of the settlement.
No
terms were disclosed.
The
embryo mixup occurred at the Central Park Medical
Services fertility clinic in 1998, when both women were
there to have their fertilized embryos implanted in
their wombs.
A
doctor admitted he put some of the fertilized embryos of
the black woman, Deborah Perry-Rogers, then 33, into a
catheter that was used to implant the embryos of Donna
Fasano, then 37, according to court papers.
Fasano
became pregnant and gave birth to two boys -- one white
and one black. Perry-Rogers was implanted only with her
own fertilized eggs; none of those produced a fetus.
The
Fasanos gave the black baby to the Rogerses five months
later.
