re: In Ohio, mom sues sperm bank for having interracial child

The question of damages is going to be interesting.

Pretty sure that the sperm bank was negligent especially if the mother specified which batch she wanted.

But how do you quantify damages for something like this? It's definitely not as simple as a personal injury case where medical bills and such can be introduced into evidence. In that case, damage would have to be limited to intangible factors like "mental anguish" which has got to be tough on the kid when she finds out later after getting older.

But yeah basically what I'm saying even if you win the lawsuit, damages for it would be a total crap shoot. If the jury decides that's it's not that big of a deal all she'd get was nominal damages and a refund from the sperm bank.
