IVF baby mix-up - TMC
-
kiddo:
*sigh* not successful then don't have baby also not end of the world wat. Might be a blessing instead. But these parents who desire kids so very very much must really be super-generous. This is one situation that I really cannot identify with since it is actually so troublesome to take care of newborns and as they grow up.
Another scenario - what if with the hubby, the IVF cannot be successful
than what? - maybe that is another way of looking at the whole issue -
many may not want to look at it this way - because it should not happen to me?
Bless the Child for human fallacy.

See? As expected this would be the resolution. They will definitely be compensated for the boo-boo but they will keep the baby and actually it is a win-win.latest report has it that the parents have decided to keep, with lots of tender loving care la.........TMC would have to make compensation and probably settle out of court, with non-disclosure agreement
end of story. -

sorry my engrish is bad.....nothing is mentioned about the compensation yet

only reported that the parents have decided to keep the child
i would expect a non-disclosure financial settlement, after all what has been done could not be undone....except for health / hospital benefits for the child -

Duriz, your description of A (mother) & O(father) cannot possibly produce a B baby.duriz:
[quote=\"caroline3sg\"]I think also not her egg because they are O & A blood group while the baby is B.
You would/could be wrong.
My friends are blood type A (mother) and type O (father).
Their child is type B (alike the paternal grandmother)..
The genetic makeup of A is AA or AO. And the genetic makeup of O is simply OO. So no matter how you mix it together, there can be no combination that makes a Type B blood type. Something really would be \"fishy\" if that happens.
This is covered in O-level Biology. Even my sec 4 daughter knows this.[/quote]If one parent has blood type 'A' , it is represented like this ' IAi or IAIA ' .
The parent with blood type 'O' would have ' II or Ii ' same thing.
However to have blood type B, you would need ' IBi or IBIB ' .
Neither combination of the type A or O would result in a type B blood when crossed using a punnet square.
When it comes to blood, representations are as follows:
A - IAIA or IAi
B - IBIB or IBi
AB - IAIB
O - IOIO or IOi
- The 'i' is considered an 'O' allele essentially making 'O' a universal donor if I'm correct.
One parent must have a B. However, one parent might have the rare Bombay phenotype in which case his or her blood type will test as type O (unless someone does more advanced tests) although it has either an A or a B. In other words, one parent could have a rare type B blood, but the tests showed it to be type O.
Yes, it is very possible. It has nothing to do with Rh factors or A, B or O phenotypes it has to do with the gene that attaches the sugars (A or B) to the cell surface. If they are deficient in this gene a person could be type A or B and they test as type O, as mentioned above. -

Wonder if they'll want to find out who the real parents are, altho this only adds to the confusion, sigh. -

Yes it is impossible for a A + O to have a B blood group baby.

A + O = A or O only.. to have a B baby, one or both the parents must either be a B or AB. -

Really don't mean this to be tongue in cheek, but ah, I thought the mother is Chinese and the father caucasian? Bombay phenotype sounds so ah, Bombay, and may be more common for Indians? -

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hh antigen system - diagram showing the molecular structure of the ABO(H) antigen systemhh is a rare blood group also called Bombay Blood group. Individuals with the rare Bombay phenotype (hh) do not express H antigen (also called \"substance H\") (the antigen which is present in blood group O). As a result, they cannot make A antigen (also called \"substance A\") or B antigen (also called \"substance B\") on their red blood cells, whatever alleles they may have of the A and B blood-group genes, because A antigen and B antigen are made from H antigen; receiving blood which contains an antigen which has never been in the patient's own blood causes an immune reaction. As a result, people who have Bombay phenotype can donate to any member of the ABO blood group system (unless some other blood factor gene, such as Rhesus, is incompatible), but they cannot receive any member of the ABO blood group system's blood (which always contains one or more of A and B and H antigens), but only from other people who have Bombay phenotype. The usual tests for ABO blood group system would show them as group O, unless the hospital worker involved has the means and the thought to test for Bombay group.
This blood phenotype was first discovered in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, in India, by Dr. Y.M. Bhende.[1] It is present in about .0004% (= about 4 per million) of the human population generally, though in some places such as Mumbai (formerly Bombay) local populations can have occurrences in as much as .01% (= 1 in 10000) of inhabitants.[2] -
... and I only came in here to kaypo about Sleepy's baby ... :faint:
