A huge scandal shakes the clinic in the Netherlands: the donors became fathers of hundreds of children without knowledge

A serious affair shakes the Netherlands. Men who donated sperm became fathers hundreds of children without their knowledge. The National Register for Monitoring Sperm Donor has discovered stunning data: 85 « mass donors » – men who have more than 25 descendants have been identified, and one donor is allegedly a father of as many as 125 children, writes New York Times.

The problem is that no one has informed Donore how many times their seeds have been used. Thus, children who have a large number of half -brother and sisters were born, which is a risk of potential relationships in the future and incest.

– The insufficient monitoring and poor management of records in the fertility clinics led to this problem – reads a letter sent to Parliament by the Minister of Youth, Prevention and Sport Vincent Karremans.

Since 2018, the Dutch law has been limiting the number of children per donor to 12, while before that the border was 25. However, the register data show that between 2004 and 2018 was donated in almost 24,000 in vitro fertilization procedures.

The Donorkind organization that supports affected by this omission has asked the Government the exact number of affected persons and regulation of sperm imports.

– The clinics often neglected the rules, used the same donor for more mothers or shared sperm between the clinics without checks – they warned from the organization.

Donors in the Netherlands receive a modest fee, usually less than $ 100 per donation, while parents pay thousands of dollars to clinics. The Netherlands already remember this circus.

Thus, Netflix filmed the mini series ‘The Man with 1,000 Kids’ about Jonathan Jacob Meijer, who is a father of more than 500 children. Numerous experts see the root of this problem in the desire for profit that often overpowers humanity and morality.
