The desperation to have a baby finds
its foothold firmly in patients who are suffering from ovarian failure. Using
donor eggs is their only choice of medical treatment. However, even those who
are well aware of this fact refuse to do it. A major reason for this is their
religious belief, for instance, Muslim patients consider this to be against
their religious dictates. Due to their desperation, it becomes easy for
dishonest doctors to cheat them. Malpani Fertility Clinic recently
encountered a patient who had been cheated
by an apparent stem-cell expert.
The patient had been suffering from
premature ovarian failure for several years. She had travelled around the globe
to discover her chances of treatment. Despite being informed by doctors in the
USA and the UK that her only choice lay in using donor eggs, she had staunchly
refused to consider this option.
Upon hearing about stem cell
therapy, she headed to India to try it out just in case it worked for her. A
doctor promised to help her. She was cheated
out of a huge sum of money to inject embryonic stem cells in her blood. The
doctor claimed that these cells would somehow travel to her ovaries and change
into eggs, thus enabling her to conceive with her own eggs. This so-called
treatment has absolutely no veracity. I am shocked at the way doctors cheat unsuspecting patients. Get to
