Carolyn Savage didn't know what to think, what to say, where to look as the ultrasound wand glided over her belly. It was supposed to be her baby inside. Not someone else's.
Yet here she was in her doctor's office with the baby's biological mother, both brought together by a terrible error at a fertility clinic. A doctor, they said, had given Savage the wrong embryo, and now she was carrying the other woman's child.
"The wand is on my abdomen and the technician's talking to someone else: 'There's your baby's nose. There's your baby's head,' " she said. "It was surreal."
(My heart goes out to women who can't have children but when men try to play God you are asking for trouble like the kind in the story above. I think things would be better if couples would just adopt children. Read more of the above story
