Karbaat verdict, Rotterdam

Karbaat verdict, Rotterdam

Click here for a report about the verdict in the case of the late Dr. Jan Karbaat, a Dutch fertility doctor suspected of using his own sperm on patients. Following this verdict, people who think they may be his children have a right to access his DNA.

But because the doctor wasn’t officially a sperm donor and doesn’t have the right to anonymity that donors were promised, the case doesn’t set a precedent for other donor-conceived children seeking information about their dads.
