Fertility Doctor Uses Own Sperm To Inseminate Patients
Story out of Indianapolis, Indiana:
A local fertility doctor accused of using his own sperm on patients appeared in court today.
Now-retired doctor Donald Cline is charged with two felony counts of obstruction of justice for statements he made to investigators.
Last May our crews spoke with a group of eight siblings, and according to court documents, Cline is a DNA match for all of them. The now-retired doctor allegedly admitted to some of the siblings his sperm could have been used up to 50 times.
“It was unethical what he did. He was telling his patients one thing and doing another,” said one woman who we are not identifying but who says Cline is her biological father.
Working out of a professional building on 86th Street, Dr. Cline always told his patients he used sperm from medical students during insemination.
According to court records, this year Dr. Cline admitted to his donor children, “He used his own sperm whenever he didn’t have a donor sample available.” Cline also added, “He felt that he was helping women because they really wanted a baby.”
Dr. Cline retired from his medical practice in 2009.
As for his punishment, felony obstruction carries a maximum penalty of 18 months behind bars. Cont.
