俄亥俄州的一对夫妇通过试管受精生下了一个孩子
An Ohio family says in a civil lawsuit that a fertility clinic used another man's sperm more than 20 years ago when the parents used in vitro fertilization to have a child and they only found out because of the results of a recent Ancestry.com test.
俄亥俄州的一个家庭在民事诉讼中表示，20多年前，当这对父母使用体外受精生孩子时，一家生育诊所使用了另一名男子的精子，他们只是因为最近的一次Ancestry.com测试结果才发现。
It is unclear who Rebecca Cartellone's biological father is. It is not Joseph Cartellone, who with his daughter and his wife, Jennifer, is suing the Institute for Reproductive Health.
目前还不清楚丽贝卡·卡泰隆的生父是谁。并不是约瑟夫·卡泰隆，他和他的女儿、妻子詹妮弗正在起诉生殖健康研究所。
"I never would've imagined the Christmas gift of home DNA kit would unveil this kind of abuse of our trust," Joseph Cartellone told reporters Wednesday.
“我从来没有想到家庭DNA试剂盒的圣诞礼物会揭露这种滥用我们的信任的行为，”约瑟夫·卡泰隆周三告诉记者。
The Cartellones say in documents filed Wednesday in a Hamilton County court that in 1994, Jennifer Cartellone underwent in vitro fertilization but the sperm came from someone else, not her husband. Rebecca Cartellone was born later that year.
卡特隆夫妇在周三提交给汉密尔顿县法院的文件中说，1994年，詹妮弗·卡特隆接受了体外受精，但精子来自别人，而不是她的丈夫。丽贝卡·卡泰隆在那年晚些时候出生。
"This is a massive betrayal of trust and an unthinkable break of trust," said Joseph C. Peiffer, managing shareholder of the Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane law firm. He told reporters in Washington it was the results of a home DNA kit from Ancestry.com that showed no relation between father and daughter.
“这是对信任的很大的背叛，是不可想象的信任破裂，”佩弗沃尔夫卡尔凯恩律师事务所的执行股东约瑟夫c佩弗说。他在华盛顿对记者说，这是Ancestry.com网站家庭DNA试剂盒的结果，结果显示父亲和女儿之间没有任何关系。
The law firm represents a number of families who are suing fertility clinics, alleging misconduct.
这家律师事务所代表了许多起诉生育诊所行为不端的家庭。
A paternity test confirmed Joseph Cartellone is not Rebecca's biological father, the lawsuit said.
诉讼称，亲子鉴定证实，约瑟夫·卡泰龙不是丽贝卡的生父。
In vitro fertilization is a series of procedures in which an egg is fertilized in a lab and then transferred to a uterus, according to the Mayo Clinic. The process is generally used by couples who otherwise have struggled to get pregnant.
根据梅奥诊所的说法，体外受精是指卵子在实验室受精，然后转移到子宫的一系列过程。这一过程通常被那些本来就很难怀孕的夫妇使用。
The couple entered a contract for IVF through The Christ Hospital and its affiliated Greater Cincinnati Institute for Reproductive Health, which the lawsuit says later split into two entities: the Institute for Reproductive Health and Ovation Fertility Cincinnati.
这对夫妇通过基督医院及其附属的大辛辛那提生殖健康研究所签订了试管受精合同。诉讼称，该研究所后来分裂为两个实体:生殖健康研究所和Ovation Fertility Cincinnati。
The Christ Hospital Health Network declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing pending litigation. It said it was "evaluating the allegations surrounding events alleged to have occurred in the early 1990s."
基督医院健康网络以未决诉讼为由，拒绝对这起诉讼置评。该公司表示，正在“评估据称发生在上世纪90年代初的事件的指控”。
The Institute for Reproductive Health wrote in a statement that it didn't exist in 1994. Officials said the problem occurred in a different and unaffiliated lab.
生殖健康研究所在一份声明中写道，它在1994年并不存在。官员们说，这个问题发生在另一个独立的实验室。
"Because this alleged incident occurred in the Christ Hospital's laboratory, before our practice and laboratory existed, we cannot comment on what may or may not have occurred in their laboratory," they wrote.
他们写道:“由于这一事件发生在基督医院的实验室，在我们的实践和实验室存在之前，我们无法评论他们的实验室可能发生了什么，也可能没有发生什么。”
The family is asking for a monetary compensation and the name of the biological father and information about his medical history.
这家人要求得到金钱赔偿、生父的姓名以及他的病史。
Joseph Cartellone said his daughter is struggling with the news that came from the DNA tests she gave as a Christmas gifts last year.
约瑟夫·卡泰隆说，他的女儿正在为去年作为圣诞礼物的DNA检测结果而苦恼。
"She's experiencing significant emotional distress and confusion concerning her own identity," he said.
“她正经历着巨大的情感痛苦和对自己身份的困惑，”他说。
She wonders whether she has brothers or sisters, and who her other grandparents are.
她想知道自己是否有兄弟姐妹，以及其他祖父母是谁。
