Forged signature in IVF deception leading to legal case

Submitted by AngryMan on Mon, 2008-03-03 12:41

Story here. Excerpt:

'A husband is threatening legal action after his estranged wife twice gave birth without his consent by using frozen embryos created while they were still together.

The woman deceived a world-renowned IVF clinic into fertilising her on two occasions by forging her husband's signature on a consent form.'

Here's what I have to say regarding this:

This story is yet another testament to how a man's reproductive rights don't seem to matter these days. As for what Quintavalle said "If men give their consent to the creation of embryos, I don't think they should be able to withdraw their consent." Well, then, women who get pregnant shouldn't be allowed to have abortions either. Because in the same way, they'd be "withdrawing their consent". Of course I don't believe either statement. I just find it astounding at how some selfish women try to treat a man like a sperm bank, and think nothing of it. The sad thing is that the corrupt court system probably will force the man to pay child support for the children he didn't even agree to have. Hopefully his lawyers will rectify this. I hope the woman gets the crap sued out of her. She should have to pay him child support, as far as I'm concerned.

The man should be allowed to take any remaining embryos and hire a surrogate mother to bear them.

this so called "doctor" quintavalle of the pressure group Comment on Reproductive Ethics thinks men should "not be able to withdraw their consent"? and this is what passes as an educated woman? commenting on ETHICS? she doesn't understand the meaning of the word. must be another one of those feminist "think tanks". ha

let's take this argument a step further.

if a woman ever gives her consent to sex she should not be able to withdraw it.
yeah, that's more like it. oh, that's right, it is only equality if it's FOR women.

her doctorate degree surely must be in feminist studies, and it probably took affirmative action to get it then, and i'm sure we paid for it in tax money. what a bloomin' idiot! who wants to bet vawa isn't paying her salary, one way or another.

wonder what she did her thesis on, "the dynamics of feminist superiority"?
