Jan Karbaat, who died in 2017, is the direct father of 49 children born after women visited his clinic, where he used his own sperm instead of that from a chosen donor to inseminate them.

Donor children speak to press as they attend the court decision related to the case of Jan Karbaat, in Rotterdam on June 2, 2017. 

DNA tests revealed that Jan Karbaat, who died at the age of 89 and before his death, Karbaat reportedly admitted to having fathered about 60 children in his time at the discredited clinic, which closed in 2009 amid reports of irregularities.

The group of suspected “Karbaat children” dragged his family to court to force them to release his DNA profile, which was locked in a safe.

The plaintiffs’ lawyer previously told doctors that some children had brown eyes when the sperm donor supposedly had blue eyes, or that another male client physically resembled the doctor.

The doctor inseminated his patients with his sperm instead of using that of chosen donors.

DNA tests showed Karbaat fathered 49 children, according to Defence for Children International, which helped the case. Many of the children are now in their thirties.
