Bloke claims ex swiped his sperm to make twins A Texas man claims his ex-girlfriend stole his sperm to inseminate herself three months after they broke up. Joe Pressil, a 36-year-old telecoms manager, is suing Advanced Fertility Center and Omni-Med Laboratories in Houston, saying they used his misappropriated man oysters to produce a brace of bouncing babies without his …
Clearly if you are referring to this guy handling bank notes/coinage which could be smeared with DNA output from his nether regions then I think you would have to take into consideration that shaking hands with anyone, or getting change for your cup of tea, would offer the transfer of chemical materials which you hadn't intended.
I don't bother trying to count the number of blokes who use the loo and don't bother washing hands afterwards, but it seems to be a disease that is very widespread. In fact even washing hands can lead to chemical transfer due to taps being turned on and off - if only loo's had those elbow-operated taps used in hospital surgeries!
I went into the company's loo a while back to find a guy using the urinal whilst having a conversation with his customer on his mobile phone. I assume he wasn't using a camera phone....
If the "consent form" was not signed in the presence of clinic staff, and ID presented at the time of signing, they would be hard-pressed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was his signature. That is, unless he signed the form in front of a Notary Public. A Notary in most states must keep a journal (recommended for notaries in ALL states where not required by law) of the notary signings he or she performs, and the signer must provide government issued identification. Only certain government issued identification is acceptable, usually drivers' licenses (with photo and description), US or other passports, etc.
Because of the potential ramifications, and potential for abuse by a jilted lover, if the clinic's consent form did not require notarization, they might be in trouble.
Somebody failed here, the question is who?
After all, if he's telling the truth about his ex having stolen his sperm, and about his religious objection to IVF (probably just a smoke-screen to get a jury on his side, but I imagine he objects to it under these circumstances,) then there exists a chance that she had the consent forms forged.
After all, if men don't want to go to the clinic to produce their baby batter on demand, they probably wouldn't want to go there in person to sign forms, so the clinic probably handed out the papers to the girl to take home to him to sign.
So there's a good probability that this is going to wind up with an allegation of forgery as well as the theft of sperm and all of that... This one oughta be good.
"But he maintained that the clinic had signed consent forms from Pressil, and called the lawsuit disingenuous and suspect."
if you read the other article it expands on this...
"He also said the clinic has signed consent forms and information sheets from the father.
Sheena said he couldn't say for certain whether the father had ever actually been to the clinic and it's possible that the forms could have been fabricated by the mother.
"When patients provide information like [the ex-girlfriend], we rely on truthful and accurate information," Sheena said. "
""We do know that we do have his blood work, we do know that his insurance was billed for it, and we do know that his credit card was used to pay for [some of] the visits," Sheena said.
Pressil admitted he allowed his then-girlfriend to sign onto his health insurance as 'domestic partners' when they were dating, but he said he thought his insurance was being billed for treatment of the fibroid condition."
This is going to get messy...
Yes, I already acknowledged that by stating "not everyone".
And pointing out the blatantly obvious fact that not everybody likes kids gets a downvote? Come on, this is The Reg, not some namby-pamby coddly parenting forum. Kids are like users, only 24 hoiurs a day, 365 days a year. It's to be bloody well expected that kids are not seen as an enrichment to one's life by everyone.
I drive past the clinic every day on my way to my office and always wondered who in their right mind would use a fertility clinic in a run down strip mall.
I saw a report on this case on local news a week or two ago and thought ok the woman nust have been a bit coo coo in the first place to go to that clinic. But after the report I was open to the case going either way.
The relationship did not sound solid so I cant imagine the guy agreeing to be a lab father. Also, the procedure was done after he broke up with the lady . . .
Sounds crazy but I was not surprised after I realized it was the clinic I passed everyday. It would take a certain kinda personality to have this kind of medical procedure in this specific location.
She certainly fulfills the Darwinian requirement of successfully adapting to the environment and I hope that her offspring prosper. One can only hope however, given the apparent gormlessness of her ex-partner.
But maybe she was the one with the brains and he was the pretty one.
can't be the sharpest tool in the shed, if she would risk her kids inheriting their father's stupidity. Having kids just for the maintenance is just despicable.
Guys, some women will go to any lengths imaginable. I've a couple of friends that have been entrapped this way and embroiled in custody battles. You do not want to go there.
If you're going to indulge with anyone and don't want kids, then keep an eye on your goods *at all times* ... take condoms, tissues etc. home with you and dispose of properly...
(If they've swallowed instead, then administer an emetic, just to be sure!)
