(LONDON TELEGRAPH) — The head of a Dutch fertility clinic has been accused of using his own sperm instead of that of chosen donors to father dozens of children.
Twenty-three parents and children of those born through IVF treatment from the Bijdorp medical centre, near Rotterdam, have gone to court to ask for tests on the DNA of Jan Karbaat, who died aged 89 last month.
Karbaat ran one of the country’s largest sperm banks in the 1980s and 1990s, billed himself as “a pioneer in the field of fertilisation”.
