Men sue hospital after 38-year baby switch discovered via DNA test

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Two men, Kyle Bylin and Jeremy Morrison, discovered they were switched at birth 38 years ago after DNA testing revealed the mix-up. The lawsuit filed against Unity Medical Center in North Dakota alleges the hospital denied them the lives they were meant to have. While the hospital states there's no evidence of staff responsibility and records are unavailable due to the time elapsed, the families involved express feelings of being robbed of time with their biological children.
