Oh my God. Lawsuit time. Useful evidence. What happens when things go wrong with tech. So what happens to the poor baby?

I think is human error that causes the sperm mixed up and not the fault of technology.

if technology is advanced enough, there won't be human error cos techno is supposed to get things into place isn't it? i think that this is a good wake up call for us. It reminds us not to be over reliant on technology cos even such things can be messed up. I guess there is not much of a choice left but treat the child like their own? The baby is innocent.Since the parents decided to have an IVF baby, they should know that there are bound to be risks involved even though i don't understand how could the lab ever make such a mistake. I thought that they would have have the obligation to be very careful with the process since it involves a life but i guess it is human nature to err? :-/ Poor baby~

It is not exactly the fault of technology as what Jing Yaw mentioned, there can be other factors that has caused this. According to Dr Cheng Li Chang, the son of the Owner of Thomson Medical Centre, he mentioned that there is only one IVF would be done a day. It could be the possibility that there was a mix up and labeling error. However, we must not entirely point fingers at the hospital. There is a minor possibility that the women might have slept around with other man and then accuse the hospital.

I think no matter how advanced technology can be, there will be some human actions involved just like people controlling robots' buttons to manufacture cars. I think joel think too far

I agree with Jing yaw. It's how we manipulate technology to our advantages and so this is probably human error. Erm, why would a woman still sleep around if she is desperate enough to go for IVF? It is fairly obvious that she wants a baby of her husband and herself. It is not an easy process. It can be both emotionally and physically draining and it is not cheap either. Hence, i think it is most likely that the lab technician made an blunder somewhere.

As what I mentioned earlier on, it is a minor possibility i.e. something far fetched but still can happen.

We should ask why ASEAN's richest economy does not make such donations. Why do we need a country from outside the region to make such a donation.

i think ASEAN's richest economies do contribute since they have mutually established funds in place like ASEAN Fund, Science and Technology Fund, Cultural Fund...australias donation could be merely due to ASEAN-Australia Development Cooperation Program-Regional Economic Policy Support Facility (AADCP-REPSF). apparently ASEAN has partnership with Australia. The provision of continued support for smaller-scale prototype projects is also currently being implemented in the ASEAN-Australia Development Cooperation Program-Regional Partnership Scheme (AADCP-RPS). So the donation could be just due to the dialogues n aggrements...

Classic divide in US society between conservatives and liberals. You should note that CNN means to imply that Paladino is saying something offensive. Might not appear that way in Singapore.

There are definitely flaws in Dr Mahatir's account, he does not know that it is because of the special privileges, Malaysia has not progressed. Furthermore, ever since when Singapore was with Pakistan. Dr Mahatir has been attacking and finding fault with Singapore over these years and thankfully he has stepped down!!!
