Lawsuit Claims Oregon Hospitals Used Wrong Semen In Fertility Procedure
(Portland, OR) -- A lawsuit filed in Multnomah County alleges two Oregon hospitals used the wrong semen during a fertility procedure more than four decades ago, resulting in a child being conceived without the parents' consent. The suit names Oregon Health & Science University and Providence Health and seeks 17-million dollars in damages for negligence, fraud, and other claims. Plaintiffs say the error was not discovered until genetic testing confirmed the husband was not the child's biological father, and allege the hospitals failed to properly disclose or investigate the mistake.
