According to the US " Atlantic Monthly " and the UK " Daily Mail " report: Donald, a "famous doctor" specializing in treating infertility in Indiana, USA. Donald Cline was suspected of using his position in the 1970s and 1980s to provide his own sperm to infertility patients without informing the patient. As of May this year, 94 people have confirmed through DNA identification that they are descendants of the terrifying doctor.
American woman Jacoba Ballard is an only child. She learned that her parents had infertility problems and gave birth to herself through " sperm donor ". After she had a DNA test at home in 2014, she found that she actually had seven half-siblings. Before 1985, fresh sperm was used in artificial insemination in the United States, and patients could choose the donor's conditions, while sperm in the same donor could only be used up to three times, so Jacoba knew that his DNA identification results were unusual.
After a series of investigations, Jacoba and several half-brothers found that their parents had turned to Klein for artificial insemination. When a patient thinks he successfully conceived with the sperm of his husband or donor, Clean uses his own sperm. One of the victims even said that she had undergone more than 12 artificial inseminations in about 5 months, and now she feels that she has "been raped 15 times." The crime documentary "Our Father" released this year on
Netflix has revealed the conspiracy in detail. As of May this year, 94 people have passed the DNA identification results and confirmed that they are descendants of the terrifying doctor.
Later, Kline was sued in court, but at that time, Indiana did not have a clear legal provision for prohibiting doctors from using their own sperm for infertility treatment. The prosecutor could only prosecute on the grounds of creating false documents and misleading investigations and obstructing judicial justice. Klein pleaded guilty in court and was eventually fined only $500, revoked his doctor's license and probation for one year.
