1 Sperm Donation, 20+ Kids, & $5M Lawsuit 

Yes and that's a very realistic problem as well because there has been studies that you are much more likely to fall for someone at first sight who has the sorts of genetic similarities to you... That's why family relationships are so taboo. And it's also why they're stories like the Oedipus complex. There are documentary That cover this kind of stuff and it's really messed up... Especially since so many parents don't tell their kids the truth they won't even know to look out for half-siblings. There are tons of stories of half-siblings and cousins and young mothers giving kids up for adoption and and later marrying them it's a real problem and sperm banks shouldn't make it worse.

That already happen. There was a story on CNN a day ago. The lady slept with her half- brother in high school. At the time, neither knew they were donor conceived.

They are literally forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to their father's, brother's, uncle's and really anyone's fetus. Do you really think they care about incess?

That's why he wanted his own future children on the opposite coast of the donor children.

and if you didnt know, it doesnt matter. its utterly irrelevant

Yeah I agree, it would be awful on their part if they blamed him for simply making a donation but truth be told people can be like that.

Wrong done to the kids as well. Could they someday have children with a sibling?

@@StopWhining491 I'd be requesting a DNA test from partners. I wonder how many they've found now that it's a few years later! Wouldn't be so bad if they were in other states, but the fact that they are all probably living in the same state is wild.

Because parent are SELFISH. They only thought about what they wanted at that time. They didn't care to consider the child would be an adult one day and want to know who they were.

Well, let's see, at what age would you like to know you were conceived by rape? Or your uncle? Yep, sometimes it's not selfish.

Because you have never been in their shoes, that's why you don't understand it

@@lifewithdeedee3392 I don’t need to be. Not being honest with your children just leads to trust issues and hostility. I would feel betrayed and upset if I’m just finding out such life altering information when I’m halfway through my 20s.

Embarrassment that as a manly- man he couldn't reproduce usually.

They weren't expecting genetic testing

Successful man ... Like it or not, even the donor kids consider him fully as their father.

They shouldn't because he's not. I'm sure this situation blew up his life.

@@kayc421 ... It's literally not a choice, he is their biological father ... And why would it blow up his life? ... They are adults, if you are busy you say you are busy. Organize to meet when there is time, and make the best of it.... These are not kids.

I have 1 brother I live with and 60+ half siblings who are spread across the US.

sperminator

It doesn't matter who the sperm comes from. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ANONYMOUS!!!

@@jessicapearson9479 i don’t care if it’s anonymous. It’s the fact they led the child to believe they were genetically linked to their dad into adulthood which is so not right.

And I don't get why the parents were crying when telling Ani that he was conceived using a donor, I just don't get why it's shameful :o you made the decision to do ivf, why aren't you proud of it? Why can't you talk about it with one of the people who it concerns? I'll maybe empathize with someone discomfort and shame in this situation but not truly understand why you could go through with it but never speak a word about it.

@@cozymoggele right!! There’s no shame. Only shame for hiding the truth. Be proud 💯

Mothers tell their kids that their dad is dead all the time .... Just because they hate the father ..

There was a case years ago where three triplet brothers were separated at birth and adopted out to three different sets of couples in different economic and social statuses. It was done as an experiment to see if a person's upbringing affects their personality. The three brothers final;ly found out about each other, and found they all liked the same things and acted the same.

How does one lose touch with one's children?

Nah because that’s too easy

The soundest advise 👏🏽

It needs to be a worldwide registry because the donation can be sold to anyone overseas.

So you want a child to consent to have their DNA on file with the government? Yeah that’s a pass… as a law abiding citizen my DNA should only be somewhere that I give consent…

@@moiaddy1yes so my dna can be collected from me as a child without my consent and used by the government for whatever purpose the deem appropriate… that’s a big no

Or grandkids or great grandkids

@@beverlyarcher3744 at that point they would be second cousins, so they wouldn't be at risk of having any birth defects or anything. Still gross though for sure..

Thank god I don't got some Madi as a sister out there bc I'd fall right into the trap

I was just thinking how good-looking they all were and well-spoken, too. It hasn't hurt the human gene pool, but with so many in one place it could hurt a lot of people. Oversight and new laws are definitely in order.

As his biological home son was talking you could see the sadness in their eyes.

Alex - can you donate your sperm to me?

I concur about Madi

in iceland due to the small population of an island they actually have a database for people to check if they are closely related before getting down with it 😅

It still happens.

@@hightidemidafternoonthat’s actually a good idea, I’d hate to accidentally do the deed with someone related to me 😂

Huh

Sus

And the schnooz. Wow. Buddy has some strong genes.

Interesting! So if I may ask a question? If genetic testing is done before dating to be safe (obviously), in the event that it comes up that a couple shares genes? How is this handled? Is it as awkward as I'm imagining or is it just sort of a normal thing for the culture? I'm genuinely curious 😊

ASHKENAZI IS NOT HEBREW NOR SEMETIC THIS IS WHY THEY REFUSE ACTUAL DNA TESTING IN ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT SEMITIC PEOPLES LIKE THE HEBREWS OF AFRICA AND PALESTINIAN PEOPLES MUSLIM CHRISTIAN AND HEBREW. THEY TEST OF ASHKENAZI ANCESTRY BUT UNLESS YOU HAVE AFRICAN ANCESTRY( NORTH AFRICA AND NORTH EASTERN AFRICA AKA THE MIDDLE EAST). YOU ARE KHAZAR CONVERTS YOUR YIDDISH HAS NOTHIN TO DO WITH ACTUAL HEBREW BUT THE AFRICAN BANTU LANGUAGE DOES 😉.

Yea because you people get paid by both the US and Isreal for every child born as well as Germany paying for you bastards yet yall can't pay Blacks reparations ? Yall always saying on that happened so long ago yet when was yall enslaved ( actually never) but yall wanna claim the Hebrews of the bible slavery over a 1000 years ago foh. Stop it its a farce dnt believe me believe maimonedes who stated the jew has nothing to do with the ancient Hebrews of the Torah. Yiddish is a Germanic language not SEMETIC

You guys get around your in everyone

I’m from the same community, so I can answer. We have this thing called for yesharim, basically you get a blood test and the organization will test for recessive genes of deseases that are common, but they won’t tell you what you have so that there is no stygma around desease. They give you a number and if you want to date someone you would both ask the organization if you’re numbers are compatible. If you are then you keep dating, if not then you stop dating and you don’t know who has what desease. People will generally make sure they are compatible early on so there are no heartbreaks if you find out too late.

UPPER CLASS HUMAN TRAFFIKING -------------------------- STEALING BABIES is a thing in America, the British IVF is like an open adoption where the donor is also included as a double parent and it is all up front and there is NO PAYMENT involved. Sometimes career people want kids but cannot raise one ---- like academics, scientists and others that do not plan on children themselves but will donate sperm and eggs and WANT to be included in the child's life HONESTLY

Yup, I would ask for 2 millions for each new donor child that keeps poping up. And you're right, poor Bryce; if he had 4 natural born kids of his own, plus 5 stepchildren it looks like the guy really enjoyed being a Dad. But now that he probably thought he was done with fatherhood, all these kids show up at his door. I know they said they didn't wanted a relationship with him but I don't think is completely true, cause they wouldn't have follow the research. At least is good to know the natural son that is his lawyer is trying to be the bridge between both parts

They said they didn’t want a relationship with him

The parents did not care about the feelings of the children.I remember they were obsessed with having a kid,sad.

I don’t know after everything I’ve been through with a large very nasty family and now dwindling with other bad things around me. I’m good with either myself or just one person or a couple of dogs and my own place… away from it all. After everything I’ve been thru.. and I’m less than a yr from half a century. Can’t change past past but would love a peaceful future

Glad my dad didn't cheat with moms cousin who raised like a daughter by grandparents grandpa's brother and wife died in an accident when she was young and grandparents told guardianship of her as it was in their will they wanted grandparents to raise her not any of his other siblings growing I had the curse of looking like her especially after I started wearing glasses possibly why I went with long hair when hit double digits it wasn't till teenage years that dad's side showed more

Mmmm That's an awful way of dating.

I understand.

I totally understand because I have so many friends and family members who died and I'm not in a relationship because I'm just working on myself and recovering from the last bad one... Introspective take care of me some of my life but I have to believe there are other people who are struggling with exactly because baby boomer relatives have died

@@LindaHutchings I hear you. I'm sorry you're in this position. It's not just baby boomers or even the pre-boomers who are passing away. I've outlived several siblings, babies, younger cousins, former classmates, favourite neighbours, friends of all ages, other family members, and that was before losing 6 healthy family members in the past 4 years (none had the cyrus), and over 50 healthy friends and family friends and acquaintances in the past 4 years. Several took their own lives during the past 4 years, but the rest have passed away extremely suddenly and unexpectedly. Many were younger than me, while some were much younger. I was hit by a drunk driver 20 years ago and left disabled and, gotta admit, I always thought I'd pass away long before any of them. I can't afford a pet, am working on me atm; too late for a Relationship, but I'm trying to figure out how to start making friends now. Haven't made a new friend in many, many years. Not quite sure how, but have found several ways that don't work, lol. I've met a lot of people over the past year or so who are struggling with loneliness, loss, etc. Loss of loved ones, jobs, homes, etc. I try to listen and take time with them, and not judge. They seem to appreciate it, and it gets me out of myself for a bit. We're all struggling with something at some point in life. I wish you well.

That's why you're supposed to have children, to ward off the dread that will only get worse until it engulfs you.

Get a library card and go get involved in your community. Please don't stay lonely.

Not fair to Bryce? How has he been harmed?

​@BS-vx8dg he was lied to. But also for his natural born kids, now they have to be careful about who they marry.

@@elylioney6390 Yes, he was lied to. But a lie in of itself does not constitute harm. People get lied to *all the time* but they can't sue because of it. If I was him, yeah, I'd be pissed, but I'd realize my life was not impacted, so no big deal. As to the kids marrying a sibling? I've acknowledged in other comments that it's the kids, not Bryce, who might have a claim. But not a huge one. This sort of thing is *always* a risk when you think about adopted kids, for example It happens. But the thing is, these are only half siblings, so the risk is much, much less.

imagine the emotional confusion on the father. I think it’s outrageous. It’s not okay to just basically steal somebodies genetic material and leave him with all these unresolved feelings. Same for the kids.

@@h.neubert8770 Kids? Maybe. The parents should have told them they came from a donation. The "emotional confusion" of the father? So what? That's not "damages" that justify a lawsuit. Only a pansy would be upset by this. If he had some responsibility for them, it'd be an issue, but he doesn't and it's not.

exactly... And people asks why there are so many new birth genetical defects these past 20-30 years, they probably marrying their own siblings without them realizing...

naaah, miscegenation is worse. Don't buy into the jewish propaganda.

I mean it’s not definite that any child would be born with birth defects. Yes the odds go way up, but it’s not 100%.

And this is why parents need to not be selfish and tell their children that they are donor kids

​@@naia-gl2nfas someone that was told at probably 7 or 8, it has always been a concern with relationships. Not great on mental health for those that know, but definitely need to find some happy medium.

gray? timestamp?

@@onbored9627 All that have light eyes. They seem gray to me, why?

@@BeastChaeng I see some green some hazel.

My eyes are a blue grey. I think hazel eyes are beautiful 😍

​@@BeastChaeng0:25 They literally said "brown hair and green eyes" and the eyes are fairly obviously green, not gray.

the thought of it…scares the issh out of me…

​@@oniriscope De terror.

Same thing happens with a popular guy in some neighborhoods. Lots of kids with different women.

I live in a neighborhood that about 80% of them I'm related to even had a name for it compared to 10 years back when it was 99%

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Worse with adoption, you could end up marrying a FULL sibling

What has his wife been up to, you wonder?

@Pteromandias Lmmfao that's a good QUESTION? BECAUSE HIS GENE'S ARE STRONG

​@@cookietx I just said the same thing. They are super strong.

@@Pteromandiasmaybe hers were stronger than his lol. Genetics is crazy sometimes. They could have ended up like Bruce and Demi. They both had strong genes fighting to be #1 and they had 3 daughters that look like a Bruce/Demi mashup.

@@mmonarchs714 I wonder if they’ve found more kids we really need an update! The people at that clinic Wronged that man. Glad the kids aren’t upset because he wants nothing to do with them GLAD THEIR HELPING HIM WITH HIS CASE AGAINST THE CLINC

Regulations don’t mean anything when the donor pool is so small compared to the entire country. On a mass scale this would lead to inbreeding. What a great idea. Not like that hasn’t held countries back for hundreds of years.

thats not a thing. educate yourself lol. it takes *generations* of inbreeding to cause that kind of deformity, with parent/child inbreeding it takes slightly fewer generations. but as a single cross it doesnt statistically change anything.

Well, it's always a good idea for a couple to get tested before having kids to test for risks. That will likely bring up genetic closeness since certain ethnicities carry common diseases (no ethnicities are immune from this). Besides, a lot of people are on ancestry anymore. But, yes, I guess in the interim, this could be psychologically damaging if they've already been having an intimate relationship.

One generation of inbreeding has basically no discernable effects

​@@blahco4tt40% of pregnancies are unplanned

This is just as possible as having a hoe for a dad that caused a lot of single moms tho lol like anything can happen

Not to mention the fact there's so many kids that need to be adopted too..

Too many kids that need to be adopted and it's so f*cking weird how normalize this video tries to make it.

I disagree. If there is someone willing to donate their eggs, or supermarket to help an infertile couple have children, what's wrong with that? They aren't having sex with the donor. They are using genetic material that had already been "harvested". I know a few couples who struggle with infertility.

​@@Momma_Tommawe know how are babies are made but it shouldn't be in a lab so I don't have sympathy for infertile couples who act baby starved. If they want to be a parent they can adopt. You don't feel for those kids who are advertised like waiting to be adopted dogs on a shelter site? Do you think it's sad but too bad because they're stigmatized?

@@js8224 you act like adopting is easy when it’s not also your forgetting one big factor in parenthood which is pregnancy, most women would love to experience carrying a child and being able to breastfeed, going to scans and even childbirth. You discard how monumental those experiences are and how hard they are to give up to some people, which adoption cannot provide. I have sympathy for those who can’t naturally conceive because it can’t be easy knowing how good of a parent you’d be if given the chance especially when others who aren’t good people or parents have them so frequently, like I think everyone should.

Yes, me too... there is no news after 2020 on this lawsuit.

They usually end up with settlements most lawsuits do end up a settlements

And the settlements often have confidentiality clauses.

If it's settled out of court it doesn't or it was decided to keep quiet

Not every donation will result in viable pregnancy, which is probably why multiple donations are not discouraged.

He never questioned it

*cursed.

20 donated kids

Yeah idk if “blessed” is the word I’d use. He was lied to and his genetic material used in a completely irresponsible manner. Seventeen people, that we know of, all around the same age all in the same area…it’s just luck that they didn’t unknowingly start a family of their own with a half sibling. As far as I’m concerned this man was thoroughly violated and the sperm bank that did this should be sued out of existence.

​@@christinaify20 could even be more

So much trauma behind this all because the parents wanted what they wanted.

YES

That’s up to them.

​@@kathyyoung1774absolutely agree 👍 still something I hope happens though😊

Nothing makes sense at the last few lines lol! All I see is boomers.

There's no news at all after the publicity of the 2019 lawsuit so I'm assuming they reached an out of court settlement.

@@broadwaybaby348 I had a suspicion that yhat is what must have happened. The sperm bank company would have been desperate to limit the publicity as much as possible and other sperm bank companies would have been desperate for them to do so too.

He is emotionally and mentally overwhelmed. Saying that is not harmful is ridiculous.

You saw this story as a result of the terroristic acts against humanity by this clinic; exposing other clinic's and the industry itself. I'd say the Dr won. 😉 Question is, what can others do to see this be righted as we all move forward? What can we do to create regulation and oversee its healthy existence?

Having siblings are not always great. 😑

This is so insensitive and short sighted. Yes having siblings can be great but these people didn't know, this is fertility fraud and in some cases has lead to accidental incest! There needs to be laws around sperm and egg donations and it should be illegal to have unknown donors as well so the resulting children can have a full medical background from both sides.

One of my friends was an only child but then found out in her adult life that her father had more kids after her (years after he divorced her mom and moved back to his native country). I think one of the kids reached out to her. Turns out my friend is a natural at being the oldest sibling. I also had a co-worker who was part of a large family already that found out in her adult life that she had another sibling, also in a different country. Notably, the men involved in both situations are Scandinavian... It amazes me how common this is, but also spreading seed isn't difficult for men

If that were to happen it would likely be because your dad cheated on your mom. Run your DNA and find out.

The sons do too

The possibilities are never 0%, but they are sharply reduced by initial physical separation of the children. Even among children conceived and born in the usual way, cousins and half siblings have found themselves in such awkward situations.

@@davidpawson9047 Yes, but that's not comparing like with like. One or two half or full separated siblings is not the same as 50 or a 100 or hundreds of half siblings.

Child support for donor kids is stupid and should be illegal, this case includes stolen genetic material. About these kids, I have no idea why this greedy doctor trying to sue. Back then he wanted to have a lot of kids and provided genetic material, now he wants money. Common, it’s no different then bulls on the farm or donating blood over and over to save tens of people with blood loss.

What the hell? Where/when did that happen??

Have a friend her and 2 older siblings are full sisters forget how many siblings she has she called her father a man who*e that was one conversation years ago probably has some more out there she doesn't know about think she said between 5-8 half siblings
