They say they &#8220;never intended to use the males.&#8221; However, 15 weeks into the pregnancy, they learned the baby was a boy.<\/p>\n<p>Heather Wilhelm-Routenberg told the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/27\/couple-sues-fertility-clinic-after-receiving-male-embryo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> that she would only have babies with her wife Robin (Robbie) Routenberg-Wilhelm if they could have girls only. Heather had survived two sexual assaults in her life and because of that \u2014 as well as the couple&#8217;s dislike of society&#8217;s view of masculinity \u2014 they did not want to have a son. CNY Fertility told them that they could create embryos using an egg from Robbie and sperm purchased from an anonymous man and then ensure a female embryo was transferred. The couple agreed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FKidspotAustralia%2Fposts%2F10160552234584505&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"502\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Then at their 15-week appointment with the OB\/GYN, they learned that the QNatal test Heather had undergone revealed the baby was actually a boy. Heather was convinced the baby must have biologically been that of a different couple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s when I flipped out, that&#8217;s when I felt my body was taken hostage. I assumed it was someone else&#8217;s embryo, not the wrong embryo of ours,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It scared the s&#8211; out of me. I don&#8217;t know how to explain this \u2014 it felt like there was an alien living inside of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The doctor offered Robbie and Heather an abortion, but the couple thankfully refused. Heather knew that if it was someone else&#8217;s child, they would give the baby to them after birth. And she was hoping someone else would have their baby girl and would give that child to them.<\/p>\n<p>After an ultrasound to verify that the baby was indeed a boy, Heather said, &#8220;Not only was the baby in my body not ours, but the baby in my body was male and he was put there against my will, just like rape.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The IVF process opens up the door for issues just like this, and people willingly pay for it. Creating a child outside of sex has allowed fertility doctors to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/377\/bmj.o895.full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use<\/a> their own sperm to create embryos instead of the client&#8217;s sperm. It has also allowed for instances in which there is an embryo <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/california-couple-sues-birth-baby-ivf-mixup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swap<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/dna-test-ivf-mixup-noone-face\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mistake<\/a> in the lab regarding which sperm is used. Heather, a rape survivor, signed the paperwork that allowed this to happen to her \u2014 putting her trust in a billion-dollar industry that doesn&#8217;t deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>When they learned that the baby was indeed Robbie&#8217;s and there hadn&#8217;t been a mix-up with another couple&#8217;s embryo, Heather was furious. After suffering a placental abruption at 27 weeks, she was put on bed rest. She said she &#8220;just wanted the baby out of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Robbie notes that the reason they didn&#8217;t want a boy was because of the image society has created of what it means to be masculine. &#8220;[I]t&#8217;s about the socialization that a boy has in the world \u2014 even while we fight against these social norms, this repeated narrative of forced masculinity \u2014 and we did not sign up for that,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s a reminder for me and Heather of that pain that I shared with Heather as she was going through it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/couple-aborts-healthy-baby-6-months\/\">Couple aborts healthy baby at 6 months following fertility clinic mix-up<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the baby boy was born in December 2020, Heather struggled to bond with him. She said she would look at him and his face would &#8220;contort into the faces of all these grown men that I know. It was so creepy. Whenever that happened, I had to give the baby to Robbie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heather became suicidal and dealt with postpartum depression, but today she says she feels &#8220;immense guilt and shame because I wasn&#8217;t able to be emotionally present for him.&#8221;\u00a0She notes, &#8220;He&#8217;s an innocent being, he didn&#8217;t deserve any of this. The clinic messed with something so integral: our baby&#8217;s first formative years. That&#8217;s the reason I am doing this \u2014 because I love my kid so much. We think our son deserved that bond from the start.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fertility <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/eugenics-side-fertility-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">industry<\/a> is built on creating and destroying children based on the desires of adults. In the case of Heather and Robin, they were willing to destroy any boys solely based on their stereotypical beliefs about men and masculinity, and the fertility industry agreed to do so because of the amount of money they would make from the expensive IVF process. If the women had had their way, their son would likely have been discarded as an embryo, as though his life had no value \u2014 a regular practice of the fertility industry. <em>More human beings have been destroyed through the IVF process than have been born.<\/em> It is unclear what happened to the other embryos Robin and Heather paid to create.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the boy they created has been deprived of his right to know his biological father, as well as any other biological family he has in the world \u2014 including half-siblings by his father. Children <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/sad-confusing-ivf-physical-psychological-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">created<\/a> through IVF, including through the use of purchased eggs and sperm, have grown up and voiced the fact that they feel like a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/mass-produced-sperm-donor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mass-produced<\/a>&#8221; product.<\/p>\n<p>One man who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anonymousus.org\/ivf-egg-donor-conceived\/\">found out<\/a>\u00a0he was conceived via IVF with an egg donor when he was 16 explained:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Years and years later I still wonder and ponder, \u201cwho is my REAL Mother\u201d\u2026 My current Mother [never] even really cared to grow a bond with me\u2026 It makes sense why now.
