A court has banned a man 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.
A Dutch judge at The Hague District Court made the decision Friday after an injunction was brought by the mother of a child conceived with the donor’s sperm and a foundation representing other parents.
The court did not release the full name of the donor citing Dutch privacy laws.
Identifying him only as Jonathan M., 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 wrote in its judgment obtained by the Associated Press.
