Jan Karbaa­t used his own sperm instea­d of from a chosen donor to insemi­nate them: Defenc­e for Childr­enTHE HAGUE: A deceased Dutch doctor mired in a fertility scandal fathered at least 49 children, an organisation representing parents and children born through IVF at his now-closed clinic said on Friday. Jan Karbaat, who died in 2017, is the direct father of 49 children born after women visited his Rotterdam clinic where he used his own sperm instead of from a chosen donor to inseminate them, Defence for Children said. Nu kunnen ze beginnen aan de verwerking van het feit één van de vele afstammelingen van Karbaat te zijn. “The results confirm serious suspicions that Karbaat used his own sperm at his clinic,” Defence for Children added. Before his death, Karbaat reportedly admitted to having fathered about 60 children in his time at the discredited clinic which closed in 2009 amid reports of irregularities.
