A UK man mixed his own sperm with his father’s to get his partner pregnant after he couldn’t afford IVF.

The man did this because he could not afford IVF treatment.

A man in England mixed his own sperm with his father’s to help his partner get pregnant because they couldn’t afford IVF. According to Guardian, the man is not being named for legal reasons, and is identified only as PQ in court documents. The outlet said that PQ and his partner JK had experienced fertility issues, so he agreed to mix his sperm with that of his father (RS), which was then injected into the woman. The arrangement, which the judge was informed was “always intended” to be kept secret, led to the birth of the now five-year-old boy (named D in court documents).

But once the local council was informed of the circumstances of the pregnancy, it launched a legal bid to trace the child’s parents.

It approached the High Court and prayed that the man be directed to conduct a DNA test to determine whether the man was D’s father or not.

However, the judge rejected the bid on Thursday, saying he found the council had “no stake in the outcome”.

“It may wish to know who is the biological father of D, but it has no stake in the outcome of its application. The desire to maintain the public interest in maintaining accurate records of birth does not confer a personal interest in the determination of such application ,” the judge said in his order.

They concluded that the decision is up to the family – whether they want to undergo a paternity test to reveal the child’s real father.

He said the man had an established father-son relationship with the child and it was up to him and the boy’s mother to “manage the latent risks to his welfare”.
