IVF Embryo Mix-Up: Biological Parents Identified in Florida Case
The biological parents of a baby born in an embryo mix-up have been identified through DNA testing. The infant, Shea, was revealed to be genetically 100% South Asian, despite being born to a white couple, Tiffany Score and Steven Mills. The Fertility Center of Orlando stated they identified a South Asian couple whose egg retrieval and embryo transfer dates coincided with Score’s. While this resolves one aspect of the case, questions remain about the fate of Score and Mills’ embryos, and the clinic has announced its closure.
