Dutch court bans prolific sperm donor from fathering more children.

A Dutch court has banned a sperm donor, identified as Jonathan M, from donating any more of his sperm after fathering at least 550 children in the Netherlands and other countries and misleading prospective parents about the number of offspring he helped to conceive. The court noted under Dutch guidelines, sperm donors are allowed to produce a maximum of 25 children with 12 mothers, and the donor lied to prospective parents about his donation history. The court ruled “the interests of the donor children and their parents outweigh the interest of the donor in continuing to donate sperm to new prospective parents”.

Sperm donor barred from fathering more children.

A Dutch court has permanently banned a sperm donor, identified only as Jonathan M., from donating any more of his sperm after he fathered at least 550 children in the Netherlands and other countries and misled prospective parents about the number of offspring he helped to conceive. The donor provided sperm to Dutch fertility clinics, to a clinic in Denmark and to other people he connected with through advertisements and online forums. The court ruled that the donor deliberately lied about his donation history to persuade parents to take him as a donor, and that all the parents are now confronted with the fact that the children in their family are part of a huge kinship network, with hundreds of half-siblings, which they did not choose.

Dutch court bans prolific sperm donor from donating again

A Dutch man named Jonathan, who fathered more than 550 children worldwide through sperm donations, has been ordered by a court in The Hague to stop donating sperm. He could be fined more than €100,000 if he tries to donate again. The man was banned from donating to fertility clinics in the Netherlands in 2017 after it emerged he had fathered more than 100 children. But instead of stopping he carried on donating sperm abroad and online. The court has told him to provide a list of all the clinics he had used and to order them to destroy his sperm.
