Late Dutch fertility doctor discovered to have fathered 19 children with his own sperm

A Dutch fertility doctor fertilised the eggs of dozens of women patients with his own sperm and fathered no fewer than 19 children, a paternity institute has said on Wednesday.

“There has been a DNA match,’’ the “Fiom” Institute added in a statement.

The institute added that Jan Karbaat, who died in April, had his own IVF clinic from 1980 to 2009.
