Appalling it may look, but it is true. A case of a 14-year-old girl having been exhorted by her mother to become pregnant by using syringes of donor sperm has come to light. Despite miscarriage, the teenager was repeatedly forced by her mother to take several attempts with donor sperms until she finally gave birth to baby boy, when she turned 17. The behaviour of the mother, who is serving a five-year jail term for “child cruelty”, was termed “wicked and selfish”, defying belief, by High Court Judge Peter Jackson in his ruling on Monday.
The judge said, the mother, an American divorcee living in Britian with three adopted children, hatched the devilish plan to get her daughter pregnant when she was prevented to adopt a fourth. She bought the syringes of sperm online over the internet form a Denmark-based company, Cryos International, Jackson said. The daughter, who is identified as A to guard her privacy, said, she became pregnant by donor sperm bought by her mother to provide her mother a fourth child. Though the daughter was initially shocked at her mother’s suggestion, she finally gave in to be able to gain “more love” for herself, she revealed.
“If I do this ... maybe she will love me more,” the daughter told the court in her statement. The judge revealed that the mother had even asked her daughter to use douches of vinegar or lemon to increase her chances of having a girl.
