[ArjanN]

Kinda surprised people still are shocked by that, given that exact same scandal has happened like 50 times.

Yeah this has got to be like the 5th documentary about this sort of thing I've seen advertised in the last 3 years.

So many fertility doctors did it at the time.

Is this the same guy from the HBO documentary?

My thoughts exactly. Crazy that this has happened multiple times.

 

[Volimar]

I swear this is the plot to a half dozen Lifetime Original movies.

They ever explain the reasoning? Narcissistic or just easier to use their own sperm.

A lot of the women (apparently) knew about the practice and consented. They figured why not i guess? He's a doctor, he's smart. Allegedly very common at the time. And they never tell the kids and they find all their siblings later with all the DNA testing nowadays.

Other ones they intentionally swapped theirs with the male donor they were supposed to use. Those are all the ones that get press because its fucked up. Who knows why, they were bad people. The one las vegas one abused his kids as well so all around not a great guy.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

That is heinous filth.

 

[Blitz]

I just saw this on netflix. It looks like no one will go to jail for these as there is no law for such crimes.

I threw this on while eating and getting ready for work this morning and it immediately captured me. Gonna have to give this a watch with my whole attention.
