A former doctor who ran a fertility clinic in the Indianapolis area surrendered his medical license last week after it was brought to light that he allegedly used his own sperm to impregnate his patients in the 1970s and 80s.
Authorities confirmed that DNA testing confirms Donald Cline is the biological father of two women whose mother was a patient of his, according to The New York Times. Additionally, three dozen half-siblings of the two women were discovered through the use of genetic testing companies such as 23andMe and others.
Cline reportedly told patients that he was using their husbands’ sperm or sperm from anonymous donors who resembled their partners.
While the number of women he allegedly impregnated with his own sperm is unknown, Jacoba Ballard, one of the biological daughters, claimed that she expects the number to grow.
