ARTIFICIALLY CONCEIVED CHILD IS NOT ILLEGITIMATE
Recd. 6.55 p.m. New York, Jan. 13 A child born as the result of artificial insemination is legitimate, according to a ruling given today in the State Supreme Court by Mr. Justice Henry Clay Greenberg. The decision was given in an action by the estranged husband of Mrs. Julie Strnad, aged 31, to have access to a daughter, Antionette, aged 4, who Mrs. Strnad said was the product of artificial insemination. The Judge said the husband had a right to visit the child. Mrs. Strnad obtained a separation and the principal custody of the child the husband visiting Antionette on last October and wished to prevent the ground that she was not nis offspring. The Judge was of opinion that a husband who permitted his wife to be artificially inseminated was entitled to the paternity rights of a natural father. The attorney and special guardian of Antionette said that if the child had been ruled illegitimate the rights of 20,000 children would have been affected.
