By Rabbi Yair Hoffman A significant mix-up occurred at the Assuta Medical Center in Rishon Lezion during an IVF procedure in 2022. The error came to light when medical problems were detected in the fetus, necessitating a series of tests. These tests revealed a startling truth: neither the woman carrying the child nor her partner were the biological parents of the baby they were expecting. There was a bad mix-up. The Court Decision In a landmark ruling, the Rishon Lezion Family Court determined that the genetic parents should be recognized as the child’s legal parents. The ruling, issued by Judge Oved Elias, ordered that the child be removed from the custody of the birth parents and transferred to the genetic parents.
