3. Dennis Greenway and his wife Kelley really want to start a family. Unfortunately, Dennis was tested by a doctor, and it was determined that he was sterile. Kelley was upset and did not know what to do. Dennis enlisted his friend, Wesley, to impregnate Kelley. Wesley already had two kids with his wife, and better yet, Wesley resembled Dennis in many ways. Dennis agreed to pay Wesley $5,000 to be with his wife twice a week. Wesley tried a number of times, but Kelley never became pregnant. Finally, Wesley's wife, Heidi, objected, but he reminded her that he was only doing it for the money and to be patient. After four months of trying, Dennis insisted that Wesley get tested, which he did. To everyone's surprise, except Wesley's wife, he was sterile. Heidi had to confess that the two kids were not biologically Wesley's. Dennis wants to sue Wesley. Wesley believes he did everything he was asked. He never guaranteed conception only that he would try his best! What issues can Dennis raise against Wesley in a contract action?
