Lawsuit alleges Boston fertility doctor used own sperm in secret insemination
A woman has filed a lawsuit against a Boston fertility doctor, Dr. Merle Berger, alleging that he secretly used his own sperm to inseminate her in 1980. The woman discovered the truth after purchasing DNA kits and finding a biological connection to Dr. Berger. The lawsuit claims that Dr. Berger violated the woman's trust and consent, and her daughter expressed shock upon learning the truth. Dr. Berger's legal team denies the allegations, stating that they have no legal or factual merit. Boston IVF, the fertility clinic, stated that the incident occurred before their existence and emphasized the rigorous ethical and medical standards in the field today.
