"Unregulated US Fertility Industry: Woman's Shocking Half-Sibling Encounter"

A woman's shocking discovery that her biological father was a fertility doctor who used his own sperm without consent has shed light on the loosely regulated US fertility industry, leading to accidental incest and a lack of accountability for doctors involved in fertility fraud. While some states have passed laws criminalizing fertility fraud, the legal landscape remains patchy, with the US fertility industry often referred to as the "Wild West" due to its dearth of regulation. Advocates are pushing for federal legislation to outlaw fertility fraud and provide pathways for civil litigation, while critics express concerns about potential unintended consequences for the LGBTQ community and argue that take-at-home DNA tests have largely stamped out fertility fraud in the modern era.
