想要孩子的夫妇起诉IVF诊所移植男性胚胎

想要女生的夫妇起诉IVF诊所移植男性胚胎：Couple who wanted a girl sue IVF clinic for transferring male e

美国的一对夫妇正在起诉他们的生育诊所，因为他们在IVF治疗期间错误地转移了男性胚胎。

Heather Wilhem-Routenberg和她的妻子Robin'Robbie'Routenberg-Wilhelm只想在孩子是女生的情况下生孩子，因为Heather在大学毕业后遭受了男性性侵犯的长期创伤。

这对夫妇去了纽约莱瑟姆的CNY生育诊所，他们特别要求只有女性胚胎——使用罗比的子和自己的精子——被移植到希瑟的腹部里。

然而在为期15周的预约中，他们被告知希瑟怀的孩子实际上是男性：第二天的扫描证实了这一点。

“我们的下巴掉到了地上。我确信这一定是自己的结果”，希瑟在接受《纽约邮报》采访时说。

在确认婴儿是女生后，诊所启动了一项内部调查，以确定胚胎的父母。七周后，这对夫妇收到确认胚胎确实与罗比有关，而不是更换或错误识别胚胎的结果。

尽管这对夫妇拒绝了堕胎的选择，但希瑟陷入了抑郁。

'我非常愤怒。她说，这感觉像是一种深深的背叛。

希瑟于2025年12月分娩，但努力与婴儿建立联系，并对她的袭击感到焦虑和闪回。现在，她和男的的关系得到了改善，她指责诊所破坏了他的成长岁月。

“我感到非常内疚和羞耻，因为我无法在情感上为他而存在，”希瑟说。

Heather和Robbie以11项罪名起诉CNY，包括违约、医疗事故和电池。

A couple in the USA is suing their fertility clinic for wrongly transfering a male embryo during IVF treatment.

Heather Wilhem-Routenberg and her wife Robin'Robbie'Routenberg-Wilhelm only wanted to have children if the children were girls，after Heather experienced long-term trauma from being sexually assaulted by men after leaving university.

The couple，who went to CNY fertility clinic in Latham，New York，specifically requested that only female embryos–created using an egg from Robbie and donor sperm–be transferred into Heather's womb.

However，at a 15-week appointment，they were told that the child Heather was carrying was in fact a male:something that was confirmed by a scan the following day.

'Our jaws dropped to the floor.I was convinced it had to be someone else's result'，Heather said in an interview with the New York Post.

Having confirmed the baby was a boy，an internal investigation by the clinic was launched to determine the parents of the embryo.After seven weeks，the couple received confirmation that the embryo was indeed related to Robbie，and not the result of switched or misidentified embryos.

Although the couple declined the option of an abortion，Heather fell into depression.

'I was so furious.It felt like a deep betrayal'，she said.

Heather gave birth in December 2025 but struggled to connect with the baby and experienced anxiety and flashbacks to her assaults.Now，the relationship with her son is improved，and she blames the clinic for damaging his formative years.

'I feel immense guilt and shame because I wasn't able to be emotionally present for him'said Heather.

Heather and Robbie are suing CNY on 11 counts including breach of contract，medical malpractice and battery.
