Dozens of women are in shock and disbelief as DNA results show that a fertility doctor, who attended to their case, fertilised their eggs with his own sperm and fathered no fewer than 19 children, a paternity institute revealed today.
“There has been a DNA match,’’ the “Fiom”a Nertherland Institute, added in a statement.
The institute added that the Dutch fertility doctor, Jan Karbaat, who died in April, had his own IVF clinic from 1980 to 2009.
However, mothers and their children had suspicions that the doctor had used his own sperm; and he, himself, said in interviews that he had conceived 60 children.
In shock and disbelief, the institute was asked by 23 people to carry out paternity tests to prove their individual cases.
They had to compare DNA with one of his officially recognised children after Dr Karbaat refused a DNA test when he was alive and his widow rejected requests to test items such as his toothbrush and shaver.
According to the institute, the test using one of his officially recognised children has resulted in 19 matches.
A court will decide on June 2 whether his widow can be compelled to give up the toothbrush and shaver for further analysis.
