Peter Wallis, a real estate broker, contends that before having sex, his girlfriend Kellie Clarke represented that she would use birth control pills. But Clarke purposefully got pregnant, according to Wallis. He is suing Clarke for fraud and for conversion (civil theft) for wrongfully acquiring and misusing his sperm. Clarke contends that she was using birth control pills and that his sperm given during sexual intercourse was not stolen or misused and should be considered a "gift" in the law. Clarke refused to obtain an abortion, moved out of their apartment, and gave birth to their daughter, Taylor. Has Clarke converted Wallis's sperm? Assuming that Wallis is correct in his contentions, what legal damages has he sustained?
