Man fcuked over by his Ex

    Interesting case:

    https://www.google.ie/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/society/2017/oct/06/man-loses-damages-claim-against-ivf-clinic-over-forged-consent

    Wealthy man's xgirlfriend, forged his signature, and uses a frozen embryo to get pregnant after they broke up. He sues the clinic for negligence but loses despite the judge remarking;

    "Although [the father] has lost this case, my judgment must be seen as a complete personal and moral vindication. The same, of course, cannot be said for the mother" ...accusing her of " mendacious embellishment”...and making up evidence "as she went along.”

    He seems well healed, so can probably afford to provide "private education, nannies, her wedding, university education, skiing trips, refurbishing her bedroom and a Land Rover Discovery used to transport the girl and his eight-year-old son."

    What a bitch though, looks like she has totally gotten away with it.

    Ultimate in 'spermjacker'.

    This was a civil case. The act of forging someone's signature would/will be most likely delt with seperately in a criminal case.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Its quite crazy that a signature is still used to verify identity for important things.

    The case wasnt about what his ex did but was a lawsuit against the company for the cost of raising the child.
    Its a bit mad that nothing was awarded to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭thee glitz


    The clinic has changed its practices so that if both parties are not available for the signing of the forms, written consent is followed up with a phone call.

    Watertight. Wtf is wrong with this company..?
    rejects claim as parents cannot be compensated for birth of healthy child

    and that country.

    He got stung pretty bad.
    It's one thing to be foolish and knock someone up that you should never have went near in the first place (many a person has made that mistake) But going behind your back to get sperm? that's a new one!

    She's crazy in any case.

    Do people who do this stuff not stop to think of how it might affect their kid when they grow up?

    Can you imagine being 16 years old and discovering that your mother forged your fathers signature and went behind his back, a year after they had broken up, to have you without his consent.

    That's going to mess with your head. That you may have been born out of your mothers desire for "revenge" on your father.

    "Kid, your mum was really angry with your dad and really upset after their break up so she had you to get back at him. Good luck."

    What a crazy kunt ! , I feel so sorry for the daughter having a lunatic like that for a mother!

    He's obviously worth a few quid, given the description of the damages he's looking for (damages, that he wasn't awarded so he'll be expected to pay from his own pocket).

    This woman did it, knowing that she would be entitled to have him put money towards the childcare, a significant amount of money by the sounds of it.

    Sad times when the court and experts agrees with everything the guys saying but he still comes out worse off. She should be locked up and the treatment centre should be paying some sort of compensation to him for their complete mess up.

    child should be taken from the mother and given to the father with him with full custody

    Feel sorry for the child. Created simply to be a pawn.

    Would it really matter? You could argue most of us were created just because someone was having a bit of craic

    Does he still have to pay child support ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,245 ✭✭✭myshirt

    Yes. That was the whole point. He was suing them for the cost they imposed upon him.

    This woman is a disgrace to the decent broads out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,384 ✭✭✭Shemale


    Unreal they did not witness the signatures before making a baby.

    One thing weird about this is they had his sperm so he must have given it to them, if not surely they would have mentioned it in the article.

    I presume the issue is not that the whole event was a fraud, or it was taken without his knowledge. He participated in it, so it's not like he's completely a victim. It just seems that, having given his sperm, he didn't trigger the go ahead.

    You'd think there'd also be some onus on him to signal that he no longer wanted them to use his sperm or the embryos. Did he forget about it once they broke up, or rely wholly on their ability to deduce his handwriting?

    Waiting for the militant feminist's to defend the harlot.......

    Maybe she just wanted children? She is now in her 40s, she had embryos available from a partner who had participated in providing them but was no longer around to give consent to the go ahead or likely to give it, I think one could have some sympathy. Does the article say she had pursued him for a lot of money, or he was suing for anticipated payments.

    Excellent call - only after a few comparisons can a man really be satisfied that he has made the right decision.

    As a man I've no sympathy for her.

    If a guy decided to rob a woman's egg's and it was possible to fertilize them and bring them through gestation artificially, would you be feeling sympathy for him,fck no...

    But I'm sure a few feminist's will applaud your comment and maybe send you a pm looking for your phone number, because your such an amazing guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭julyjane


    Wasn't there a case in Ireland a few years back where a couple had separated or divorced and the ex wife wanted to become pregnant with their remaining frozen embryos but her ex husband wouldn't consent so she brought him to court? I think our ever precious right to life of the unborn was a big factor in the woman's side of the argument.

    There is no suggestion the semen was robbed.

    Try to stick to the facts. And relax a little with the whole feminist fixation and the ravings about me being an amazing guy. She did not steal the semen.

    Do you want to try a better analogy that works with the story in the OP and drop the angry stuff?


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Simply put, if the man didn't give consent for his sperm to be used then it's a disgrace. The fact she forged his signature is really insult to injury.

    The bloke is entitled to have his sperm in a facility for later use if he so chooses much the same way as the lady would have that same right with her eggs.

    There should be no defending this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    In a way, I suppose she played a blinder.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    Did she not obtain the sample by forging his signature without his consent? That's fraudulently acquiring it without the owner's permission. More or less stealing you could say.

    She obtained the semen through corruption, forgery, dishonesty and without out the consent of the owner.

    But she did not steal the semen.

    Surly if I used your MasterCard to buy diesel without your consent it wouldn't be stealing.

    Come on now Conor stop hanging out with the lefties.
