In response to the lawsuit, the Institute for Reproductive Health released a statement. A spokesperson said that it did not exist in the early ’90s.
Officials claimed that the fertilization occurred in a different, unaffiliated lab. “Our physicians are not involved in the fertilization of eggs with sperm, as this process is handled by embryologists in the IVF laboratory,” the statement explained.
The Ovation Center Didn’t Exist, Either
The Cartellones were even less lucky with Ovation Fertility Cincinnati. The current facility did not open until the 2000s; initially, it was The Christ Hospital’s Greater Cincinnati Institute.
“Therefore, any action that could have occurred in The Christ Hospital’s laboratory 25 years ago is unrelated to our lab,” a spokesperson claimed.
But Cartellone’s Lawyer Says Otherwise
Despite these claims, the family lawyer Adam Wolf had his doubts. He investigated the names of the Cartellones’ former lab director and doctor.
Both the director and doctor (whose names are kept confidential) now work for the Institute of Reproductive Health. So it is still possible to discover what happened with the IVF treatments.
Were the Cartellones the only victims? Stick around to find out.
The Hospital Is Not Providing Any Answers
Meanwhile, the hospital staff is even less helpful. CNN, NBC, and Good Morning America reached out for comment, but the Christ Hospital Health Network declined each one.
