After an attorney for Dr. Donald Cline surrendered Cline's expired license to the Indiana Medical Licensing Board, the seven-member panel voted to prohibit the 79-year-old Cline from ever applying for a license in Indiana again. Before the vote, Indiana's supervising deputy attorney general, Laura Iosue, asked the board before that vote to consider the impact of Cline's actions. "It's particularly egregious. The important thing is that Dr. Cline doesn't practice anymore," she said. Cline, who retired from practice in 2009, was given a one-year suspended sentence in December after pleading guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice. He'd used his own sperm to impregnate possibly dozens of women after telling them the donors were anonymous. No other charges were filed against Cline because Indiana law doesn't specifically prohibit fertility doctors from using their own sperm. Cline was charged after lying to investigators, and he had faced up to three years in prison on each count. The charges stemmed from two confirmed cases of paternity, but children of women treated by Cline have said DNA tests show he's likely the biological father of as many as 20 of them. Cline apologized "for the pain my actions have caused" during his December sentencing, although he didn't specify how often he used his own sperm in procedures. But court documents state that he told one of his biological daughters, Jacoba Ballard, that he had done so about 50 times in the 1970s and 1980s. Ballard said at Thursday's hearing that Cline's actions have "affected me in every possible way." "He's portrayed as this man that's remorseful," she said. A total of 10 people who believe Cline is their biological father attended Thursday's hearing with their mothers. Many of Cline's former patients and their children are now focusing on persuading Indiana lawmakers to pass a measure that would deem a fertility doctor's use of his own sperm as a crime. Matt White, who learned as an adult that the "anonymous" sperm donor who impregnated his mother was actually Cline, called the surrender of Cline's already expired license "a slap on the wrist." But he said he appreciated the board barring Cline from ever seeking reinstatement of his license."That was a small victory," he said.
So he basically gets away with impregnating dozens of women with his own sperm without their knowledge. This is fucking disgusting.
Uh yeah. I think this is one of those things where people didn't think anyone would be so fucking gross, and so didn't think of making it against the law. It fucking goes without saying that this isn't permissable, doesn't it?
welp thats one way to win the evolutionary game but then he got caught for hacking
gonna make my own fertility clinic called "This Spunk of Mine", where all customers will be fertilized exclusively with my own seed. i'll have a big sign on the wall with a picture of me giving a thumbs up that says "NOTICE: BY UTILIZING "THIS SPUNK OF MINE, LLC" YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL SPERM USED HAS BEEN GENERATED PERSONALLY BY THIS MAN"
fricking hell is is beyond horrifying
Hey, as long as it works
When I saw the headline I thought it meant a fertility doctor using his own sperm in lieu of a husband's, for couples that can't conceive naturally. Instead this is... kind of weird, ethically. I mean, the article says that the women were told the sperm came from anonymous donors, so the mothers clearly weren't choosy about who the father was. It's dishonest not to disclose the known source, but not criminal, so I guess that's why no charges are being filed. Am I missing something?
prime example of "well, there's no law against it"
Then he has to pay child support to ALL of them
The women still picked from a distinct set criteria which were supposed to be culled and then applied from the various available samples/donors, none of which was "the guy standing in front of me". Completely fucking dubious in the very least, nevermind complete lack of ethics and the entire point of the women choosing this method.
It's anonymous in that no names are named. You still have their bio data like height, weight, hair color too I'd imagine? Not just freeblasting random cumshots into you.
Every now and again you find that one fucker who rolled lawful evil at char gen.
He did it in the 70s and 80s. All of his potential children would be adults now.
I didn't know genghis khan became a doctor
