Fertility Fraud: Artificial insemination doctors who used their own sperm

In its long term effect this fraud is similar to serial rape. But that&#x27;s also true of serial seduction under false pretenses. Should the punishment for these things also be similar? I don&#x27;t know.<p>From a Darwinian perspective even the death penalty is insufficient, since reproducing copiously is worth dying for. The only effective punishment would involve also killing or sterilizing the resulting children ... which is entirely unacceptable from our cultural perspective.<p>So to a Darwinian insemination doctor this may be something like a perfect crime, in that there is no prospective punishment that outweighs the benefits.

If the adult child finds out what happened, and the insemination doctor is still alive, is the child then entitled to a part of the doctor&#x27;s (future) heritage?<p>Or if the child finds out when it is still small, or a teenager, will the child be entitled for child support payments from the doctor?

Why is DNA testing not a mandatory part of the process? I thought embryonic genetic testing for show-stopping diseases was one of the major selling points of IVF. Would that not immediately set off alarm bells for paternity&#x2F;maternity mismatch?

People at 23AndMe could run an anonymized query on their dataset to extract networks of lineages and see highly connected individuals. It would be fascinating to see some people with hundreds of offsprings because they are sperm donors.<p>What if their own children become sperm donors, etc. If two persons are born from sperm donors I imagine they have to check in case they are siblings or closely related.

Simple solution is to just work with a fertility doc who is female or a person of a different race than picked sperm. Will be obvious if child is mixed.<p>I am worried about future ethics of DNA sequencing. Esp if lab techs are corrupted. That will prob be the future - bastard children at scale.

Can&#x27;t imagine what it&#x27;s like to find this out as the offspring. On one hand it&#x27;s a crazy violation of their very identity, on the other, they would not exist if not for that deception.

I&#x27;ve posted several times about law lagging behind technology, and this is what I mean. If a new tech is in the horizon, you should already be able to realize what can be done with it, what damage it can cause.<p>I can&#x27;t believe they call it sexual assault. It&#x27;s as if it was beyond the realm of possibility to create new lexicon and they had to use only existing terms.

I mean, that&#x27;s a pretty damn effective way to ensure you reproduce on a grand scale, but I seriously question the impact it will have on the world. I&#x27;m already against sperm donation in general partly because of how much it can reduce genetic diversity, but I never factored this sort of rape-fraud (raud? fraupe?) thing into it

Women who received Doctor&#x27;s sperm instead of<p>1. Husband&#x27;s sperm(low count)<p>2. Healthy stranger&#x27;s sperm (Stranger was chosen)<p>3. Random donor&#x27;s sperm<p>4. ?<p>For 1 &amp; 2 Doctor ought to be stripped from IVR practice, children should get 20y alimony.<p>Additionally, in case of 1 children should also get inheritance.

The white lies we tell each other to make society work are coming out one at a time. That&#x27;s why france disallows paternity tests. Then again is society ready to move beyond the nuclear family? i dont think so

If it was about a couple going to a doctor and the doctor replacing the man&#x27;s sperm with his own, I&#x27;d understand this, but if a woman goes to a doctor and asks for a sample from an anonymous donor with no further stipulations then I don&#x27;t see why the donor shouldn&#x27;t be the doctor. Of course, they should have been open about it, but still.
