Story summary

Natalie and Joshua Strong, a Florida couple who underwent two rounds of IVF at Brown Fertility Associates in Jacksonville to conceive after Joshua's vasectomy, filed a lawsuit against the clinic. A DNA test revealed that their newborn daughter has a B-positive blood type, which is biologically impossible given Natalie's O-negative and Joshua's A-negative blood types. The couple claims that Brown Fertility used the wrong sperm during the IVF procedure, despite the clear instructions for using only Joshua’s retrieved sperm. They accuse Dr. Samuel Brown and other clinic officials of negligence, alleging the clinic betrayed their trust and costing them "tens of thousands of dollars."
