Sperm Donor Revealed To Have Fathered 150 Children

One sperm donor has fathered 150 children, leading to calls that cash-hungry sperm banks are allowing too many children to be conceived from one man.


The sperm donor is not identified but does have a unique number that has allowed half-siblings to get in contact with their extended family.
Cynthia Daily, 48, of Washington, used the donor to conceive in 2004 and has searched for his growing list of relatives, reported the New York Times.
It’s wild when we see them all together – they all look alike,’ she told the New York Times.
Parents, donors and health experts are all worried diseases could spread faster with so many children fathered by the same man.
They have even suggested that this raises the chances of accidental incest between half-sisters and half-brothers who often live nearby.
‘She’s been in school with numerous kids who were born through donors,’ said one mother, whose teenager daughter was conceived from sperm donation.
‘She’s had crushes on boys who are donor children,’ the mother told the New York Times. ‘It’s become part of (her) sex education.’
