In Re Baby Doe, 23 February 1987.
The Court rejected an appeal by the husband plaintiff that he was not responsible for support payments for a child born to his wife as a result of artificial insemination.  It held that he had consented to the insemination through his knowledge of and assistance in his wife's efforts to conceive through artificial insemination and was thus the legal father of the child with legal responsibilities toward it.
