Judge Rules Legitimacy of Test Tube Baby
Chicago judge rules test-tube babies are illegitimate if the mother’s husband is not the donor. The decision affects custody, inheritance, and support disputes, and declares that homologous insemination is not contrary to policy, while heterologous insemination is adultery. The case stems from Mrs. Mary Doornbos seeking custody of a five year old boy born by artificial insemination, with Doornbos asserting paternity and visitation rights.
