"Rise in Women Seeking 'Unvaxxed' Sperm via Shady Facebook Groups"

Demand for unvaccinated sperm donors has surged as women turn to Facebook groups seeking samples from men who have refused the Covid-19 vaccine. Jonathan David Rinaldi, known as 'The Sperminator', created a splinter group exclusively for anti-vax donors after witnessing a significant increase in requests. Despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stating that Covid-19 vaccines do not affect fertility, misinformation linking the vaccine to reproductive harm is shared within these groups. While some sperm banks report minimal interest in unvaccinated donors, anecdotal evidence suggests a growing demand. Experts emphasize that Covid-19 vaccines do not impact fertility.

Sperm donor fathering hundreds banned from donating.

A Dutch court has ordered a man who fathered between 500 and 600 children around the world to stop donating sperm due to fears of accidental incest and inbreeding. The man was forbidden to donate more semen to clinics and could be fined 100,000 euros per infraction. He was also ordered to write to clinics abroad asking them to destroy any of his semen they have in stock, except doses reserved for parents who already had children by him. The decision came after a civil case started by a foundation representing the interests of donor children and Dutch parents who had used the man as a donor.

Dutch court bans prolific sperm donor from donating again.

A Dutch court has ordered a man, identified as Jonathan Meijer, who has fathered between 500 and 600 children worldwide to stop donating sperm. The court ruling forbids him from donating more semen to clinics and he could be fined €100,000 per infraction. The decision came after a civil case started by a foundation representing the interests of donor children and Dutch parents who had used Meijer as a donor. They argued that Meijer's continued donations violated the right to a private life of his donor children, whose ability to form romantic relationships are hampered by fears of accidental incest and inbreeding.

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.

The Truth About Assisted Conception and Children's Well-Being.

A study conducted over two decades found that children born via egg or sperm donation and surrogacy were psychologically well-adjusted, especially if parents told the children about their birth history before age 7. Children as young as 7 will already have a basic understanding of genetics, and can be surprised when they learn they aren’t genetically connected to one or both parents. Parents should share the story of donor conception with their children at a very early age to avoid hurting their trust in their parents and their identity development.
