In vitro fertilization is in the news again, not because another red state deemed frozen embryos legally children, but rather because Trump is looking to expand it.
With the president signing an executive order this morning that states: [Image]
“Americans need reliable access to IVF and more affordable treatment options, as the cost per cycle can range from $12,000 to $25,000.” [Quote]
So to make that happen, he instructed the assistant to the president for domestic policy to bring him a list of policy recommendations on protecting IVF access and “aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs” within 90 days. [Quote same link]
But while he’s doing that, we have another story about the absurdist nightmare that can occur when IVF goes wrong.
So let me introduce you to Krystena [Christina] Murray, a 38-year-old woman in Savannah, Georgia who says she’s wanted to be a mother ever since she was a little girl. [Screenshot, 01:04]
So she went through hell for it, reportedly undergoing 18 months of intrauterine insemination, to no avail. [Quote, find “18 months”]
Then she tried IVF for several months, saying she did follow-up exams, medical tests, blood tests, daily injections — nothing worked … until it did.
With her finally getting pregnant, using sperm from a donor she selected who reportedly looked like her, having dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. [Quote same link, find “dirty”]
And then, in December 2023, she reportedly gave birth, saying:
“the first time I saw my son, like any mom, he was beautiful and literally the best thing I've ever seen, but it was also immediately apparent … [dramatic pause] that he was African American.” [Quote same link and Screenshot, 00:59]
Yeah, this white woman unexpectedly popped out a black baby, and she had no idea why.
Now to be clear, her lawyer says she ain’t no racist; she was just concerned that her child obviously wasn’t biologically hers.
So she says she took an at-home DNA test, and sure enough, it definitely ain’t hers. [Quote same link, find “DNA test”]
Meaning someone at the fertility clinic implanted the wrong embryo inside her body, making her carry someone else’s baby to term.
So she notified the clinic, which notified the biological parents, who then sued for custody of the child.
Thing is though, by this point, Murray says she loved the baby and had bonded with him, breastfeeding him and taking him to doctors' appointments. [Quote same link, find “breastfeeding”]

00:00This is a nightmare situation, a true IVF horror story.
00:03So this is Christina Murray,
00:05who's a 38 year old woman in Savannah, Georgia,
00:06who says she wanted to be a mother
00:08ever since she was a little girl.
00:09And so she went through hell for it
00:10with her reportedly undergoing 18 months
00:12of intrauterine insemination to no avail.
00:14With her then trying IVF for several months,
00:16saying that she did follow-up exams, medical tests,
00:18blood tests, daily injections, nothing worked until it did.
00:22With her finally getting pregnant using sperm
00:23from a donut that she selected
00:24who reportedly looked like her,
00:26having dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.
00:28With her then in December of 2023,
00:29reportedly giving birth and saying,
00:31the first time I saw my son, like any mom,
00:33he was beautiful and literally the best thing
00:35I'd ever seen.
00:36But it was also immediately apparent
00:38that he was African-American.
00:39So she says that she takes an at-home DNA test
00:41and here's the thing.
00:42It appears that this is not a case of whoops, wrong donor.
00:46The baby is not hers.
00:47Which means that someone at the fertility clinic
00:49implanted the wrong embryo inside of her body,
00:51making her carry someone else's baby to term.
00:54And so she notifies the clinic,
00:55which then notified the biological parents
00:57who then sued for custody of the child.
01:00Thing is though, by this point,
01:01Murray says she loves the baby and had bonded with him.
01:03She's breastfeeding him and taking him
01:04to doctor's appointments.
01:05So she hired a lawyer and fought back,
01:07but says that after a tremendous amount of money and time,
01:09they told her that she would likely lose her case.
01:11So last May, she went to a family court hearing
01:13and turned this child whom she considers her son
01:15over to another couple.
01:16I walked out of the building with an empty stroller
01:20and they left with my son.
01:22What we do know is that she is suing the clinic,
01:24coastal fertility specialists,
01:25and some of its staff for a long list of offenses.
