A serial sperm donor who has fathered 550 children is being sued amid accusations his prolific donations increases the risk of accidental incest.
The Netherlands’ Donorkind Foundation is taking Jonathan Jacob Meijer to court to stop him donating sperm and accuses him of lying about the number of children he has fathered.
Dutch sperm clinic guidelines say donors should donate a maximum of 25 children or to 12 women to prevent inbreeding, incest or psychological problems for donor children.
The civil case is being brought by a Dutch mother of one of Mr Meijer’s children, who has been named only as Eva and had the child in 2018.
‘If I had known he had already fathered more than 100 children I would never have chosen him,’ she said.
‘If I think about the consequences this could have for my child I am sick to my stomach.’
Donorkind wants the court to order Mr Meijer to stop donating and to find out which clinics he has donated to.
