Woman learns parents' fertility doctor is really her biological father [View all]
(snip)
Dr. Peven helped Mrs. Hall conceive Jaime, who never thought anything was unusual about her upbringing. Her parents kept her artificial insemination a secret for many years. However, she eventually found out about it and took a paternity test to find out the results.
“The result came back that my dad was 100% not my biological father,” Hall said.
Her mother eventually said Peven performed a procedure to help “make her husband’s sperm swim faster.”
“I’m seeing half-siblings and I’m seeing a bunch of things on there that I didn’t understand, but there was the name that was managing the accounts,” Hall said. “It was the only name that I recognized, and, as soon as I saw it said, ‘Peven,’ I just looked up at my husband, and said ‘I know who my biological father is.”
Several fertility doctors across the United States have used their own sperm to promote pregnancies in women. According to The New York Post, Dr. Quincy Fortier fathered several children by injecting his patients with his very own semen.

Currently, it’s not illegal for a doctor to use his own sperm to artificially impregnate a patient, even without permission.

****How can this not be illegal?? They can do this legally without a woman’s permission? This just blows my mind.
