[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really tramatic for both parties.  I definitely feel for the woman who carried the twins but I agree with the decision. They're the other couple's children, she just knowingly was a surrogate for them.  Both couples clearly must have had issues having children, wouldn't you be heartbroken to find out those children of yours were being raised by another couple?  If I were in the situation, while it would kill me to give up my babies, I would if it meant the other couple finally got to have their children.  I think people sue too much, but this is one case where I definitely think both parties definitely deserve a good 7 figures, more for the woman who carried the babies.  These are lab mistakes that literally a sharpie can fix.  I worked in manufacturing and we had to get 3 people to check off that the correct products were run.  And the worse case scenario there was iff someone ran the wrong thing, it was just wasted time and material.  Not someone losing their biological children.

As for those worried about your own personal children, I will say genetics are weird and it probably means [b]nothing that your children don't look alike.  [/b]I don't think you'd get much out of finding out, unless you want to sue or to just make sure an incompetent lab gets shut down.  Even though you'd love your children just the same, I think you'd have to disclose at some point the mistake to your children just for medical reasons.  And I'd be too afraid of psychologically what that would do to them.  Then again, this is the age of 23 and me so they'd likely find out on their own one day if there was a mistake.[/quote]
If you read the article, the problem wasn't just the twin boys not looking alike; the problem was that the bio parents were white (Armenian, judging by the last name) and the other couple was Asian! Yeah, no s--t every one would wonder how two Asian people managed to produce two white boys that don't resemble each other or their parents...[/quote]

That wasn't in response to the mixup case in article.  That was in response to PPs who mentioned they didn't think their children were from their own eggs. [/quote]
