A Court will have to decide what happens to black twins born to a white couple after an apparent mix-up at an IVF clinic.

Neither the people involved nor the clinic can be named, and a court hearing has been scheduled to consider the legal status of the babies. It is thought the couple want to keep the twins. But there are possibly two families who have each others children.

It is possible that sperm from a black patient was used in error to fertilise eggs from the white woman, or that an embryo was implanted in the wrong woman.

IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) involves mixing sperm from the man and eggs from the woman together in the laboratory, before they are placed in the woman.

In this case when the babies were born, the couple noticed that they were clearly dark-skinned, and suspected that something had gone wrong.

It is really in unexpected cases like this where the law is not very clear on what should happen. Hopefully common sense will win out in this case.
