What kind of person expects no glitches in life? Someone to incapable of adapting to be able to cope with all the changes even one child provides. If these two "adults" can or will not change their expectations of their "perfect" lives, I have sympathy and fear for their girls, who will be unable to meet these women's demands.

Am I alone at thinking that these people are barking? They are lesbians and hence not predisposed to conceiving in the normal manner so use IVF, something that isn't cheap to start with, the chances of having a kid being low by this method. they then expect someone to pay to bring up the child for not acknowledging a change of mind communicated minutes before the procedure. They wanted a child, they got two and are unhappy? Well, sorry to say but will these two make decent parents? I feel sorry for the kids involved. There is one term for these two - selfish.

here, we have one selfish couple looking for a free ride. This is a frivilous lawsuit.

The doctor was supposed to implant one embryo. He implanted two. So he was wrong. The end.

They should be grateful to have any children under the circumstances. Pay them the money – minus the cost of IVF development over the years for the benefit of normal families I think they should pay for the privilege of having the treatment. As Ingrid from Feltham said GET A LIFE.

A Father, Cardiff, UK

Why on earth did they decide to have a child in the first place if the cost of rearing one so far outweighs the joys of parenthood? It seems adoption by parents who actually value them may well be in best interest of both of the twins.

Sophie Ibbotson, Salisbury, UK

Perhaps they should consider that their joys rather than their expenses are doubled . It seems that they are driven by an immature need to play with a live 'dolly' rather than any real emotional attachment to the childen. One can only hope that the legal system is not daft enough to give way to their selfish demands.

What a farce! Doean't merit comment - a pair of muscle-bound sheilas who are obviously so obnoxious they can't get impregnated by even an ugly drunk male ......

janda, KL, Malaysia

This is crazy! This was an IVF procedure. Had she not fallen pregnant she would have moaned that she didnt have a kid. Get a life!

Ingrid Temmerman, Feltham, UK

This should never have even got to court complete twaddle!

Ami, blandford,

Daft, the doctor should ask for both babies back - complete satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.

sam, london,

After reading this story about the lesbian couple suing the doctor over having unwanted twins, all I can say is they must be two of the most selfish, greedy people I have ever heard of. $400,000 for the cost of sending the other child to a private school and raising her until 21? Are they kidding? plus they want money for time lost from work. Arent they going to take time off work anyway to care for the other girl?

There are plenty of women, and couple out there who would dearly love to have a child and cant, and try many time and fail,or go through the pain of miscarrying, yet these women have 2 children, and are doing nothing but moaning and complaining.

Did they only just realise that they would be having twins or did they know all along?

Nice way to start your life for the unwanted twin isnt it? hey kid, we didnt want you so we sued the doctor. They should be ashamed of themselves.
