Dutch fertilization pioneer used own sperm without patients' consent, fathered 49 kids
A Dutch fertility doctor secretly fathered at least 49 children by inseminating female patients with his own sperm, telling the women that it came from anonymous donors.
The clinic was closed in 2009 amid allegations that Karbaat had falsified data, analyses and donor descriptions and exceeded the permitted number of six children per donor. After the doctor’s death, dozens of people came forward to say they suspected that he had used his own sperm to impregnate their mothers.
