Millions of couples each year use fertility treatments to try and have a baby. But one woman in California says she’s been stripped of the chance to have a child with her husband – because the sperm he donated before he died is missing. And it may be worse than that. Ana Garcia reports.

He did my tubal reversal on march 1st 2022 and I’m now 37 weeks pregnant. Dr Payne is amazing
Given how bad the fertility industry is, it could have been worse – the poor widow might easily have received the wrong sperm.
Wow and this guys still working 😮
This is a terrible situation and I feel she was wronged. However, judging from her body language when asked what she's worried about, she said that there may be kids out there with her husband's disease without the parents knowing. I kind of feel she's more concerned/disappointed that someone else was able to carry her husband's child instead of her, which is absolutely a valid and rightful concern for her to have. But of course, she'll appear selfish to admit that. This was just something that crossed my mind as I watched her speak.
This man is pure evil
This doctor should be out of business. And In jail. He’s a fat piece of shit! Running into work with his fricking lunch.
She is such a gorgeous women and I’m so sorry this has happened. I can promise you she will have her day. Karma is a bitch! I hope she gets millions and millions.
I am like two minutes in. Am I understanding this right. She got his Sperm and the pulled the plug. How does one get sperm from her husband while on a machine to live ???? Lol. Sorry just asking
The sperm may still be missing, but any kid born with eyes like that will be easy to spot. Oofa toofa!
I have questions- how did they extract sperm from a man in a coma? 😳 Also interesting to note- she lost her case in Nov 2020. She couldn’t prove that he wanted to father a child with her posthumously.
Than why keep his sperm if he has such a bad diseases
Oh my god I am so so sorry for this woman!! What a sick doctor he should lose his license and be in prison!! This is some SICK shit
Man I would kill all them kids
UPDATE 4 years later
The Los Angeles court found that Robertson ‘was not legally entitled to use her husband’s sperm for posthumous conception, and therefore suffered no injury from its loss,’ according to an appeal ruling.
The appeals judges sided with the trial court’s ruling, writing that Robertson failed to establish that her late husband wanted his wife to conceive his child after he died.
‘The only allegations regarding plaintiff’s husband’s intent were that plaintiff, at the time she requested her husband’s sperm be extracted, represented to his physicians that she and her husband had always wanted to have children together, and provided letters and cards written by her husband similarly indicating a desire to have children with his wife.
Does anyone have any updates on the case by chance? I've looked but maybe I'm looking in the placeS
This women deserves just due to the neglect of this so-called Dr.
The medical field is not a place for errors or mistakes. They need to be prosecuted!
Fire the doctor he should not be working in there anymore he is a crook.
These doctors like Sadan hussein, etc others countries come to America to destroy American life's. STOP THESE DOCTORS AND THEIR ABUSES AGAINST OUR CITIZEN.
This incomprehensible, disgusting eel of a 'doctor' needs to be found extremely guilty and sentenced harshly.
So awful! Sadly this womans dream of giving birth to her once in a lifetime's child is gone. The upside of this is that she wasn't unknowingly impregnated with this incompatant slobs DNA…
so theres a baby out there that was supposed to be hers and could have a health problem. damn these people!
Absolutely heartbreaking
I did some reading and she essentially got nothing from the suit.
Not meant to be critical or disrespectful at all, just curious, why wouldn't the sperm have been tested when collected?
that's why people shouldn't play "god"
My partner has Marfan’s syndrome. She has been though so much surgery and medication, but is still alive. It depends on how severe the genes the person had. Sounds like his diagnosis was pretty severe.
That sucks, I’d b so …hurt & pissed!!
What does she mean that she wants justice? Was the mistake proven to have intent? This woman crime watch episodes are ALWAYS sensationalized. She sucks!
I’m sure the doctor a Lebanese or Egyptian
Very sad
So.sad
