20-plus sperm donor siblings find each other.
As a result, donors have no idea how many offspring they have produced or how many offspring they should expect to hear from. And while many sperm banks suggest to families that they limit the number of offspring created from a particular donor, there are no laws officially limiting how many babies can be born from any one donor, as there are in other countries including Hong Kong, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
“That to me is unconscionable,” Karpf said of the physicians who never told him he was donating too often. “They were more motivated by profit than by the underlying genetic risk of having that many people out there with potential half siblings genetically and wouldn’t know it.” “We will stop them well before they ever meet their limit,” Michelle Ottey, the director of operations at Fairfax Cryobank, said. “We, as a field, have really evolved over time. We’ve listened to the feedback that we get from the donor conceived individuals to establish best practices.”
