LIVERMORE, Calif. - Two lawsuits were filed Wednesday by families who have discovered that their fertility doctors secretly used their own sperm to inseminate the mothers of now-adult children.In one case, a Livermore woman said that she wanted her sperm donor to be Christian and share her husband's ethnicity.
She was horrified when she found out her childrens' biological father turned out to be her Jewish doctor. The battery and fraud lawsuits against a doctor in La Jolla, Calif., and a doctor who now practices in Lynchburg, Virginia, were filed in California and Virginia state courts, respectively.Each seeks unspecified monetary damages and for the doctors to reveal their personal medical history to the affected families.
