preface
On October 4, 2015, an elderly man in his 70s in the court said in a cheerful manner: What crime have I committed? Is it wrong for me to help countless families reap the crystallization of love?
This old man is Donald Klein, the prototype of the 2022 documentary "Our Father", -----, who used his position as a doctor to help infertile female patients conceive children for ten years.
However, the fruits of the sins he committed during that time were eventually exposed by Jacoba. It turned out that when the female patients came to his clinic for medical treatment, he quietly injected his own sperm into the female patients, causing them to successfully conceive.
These female patients unknowingly mistakenly thought that they gave birth to their husband's crystallization, but unexpectedly, the sperm that went to the clinic several times was not their husband's, but the doctor who treated infertility for themselves.
1. The grief experience of Liz White
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, the topic of infertility was still a topic of shyness even in the more open-minded United States, and many young couples were unable to have children after marriage as a very humiliating thing.
Talking about the victim of this case, Liz White, is the most terrifying. In 1981, she underwent Dr. Klein's sperm injection 15 times at the clinic, each time facing the perverted doctor alone, and she now looks back with great nausea.
At that time, she and her husband had no good news for two years after marriage, which surprised the couple, the two were obviously so young, why did they not move.
The two eventually came to the hospital with a sense of shame for examination and sought help from a doctor, and the results showed that the husband's sperm survival rate was low and natural conception was not recommended.
The two were so devastated by this result that they had to seek science and technology to realize their parental aspirations.
At the suggestion of the hospital, the two tried a sperm freezing scheme, but ran back and forth to the hospital for a year without success.
Liz White was very upset, and at this time, a doctor recommended Dr. Klein to them, saying that he had excellent skills and insights in the field of infertility, and he might be able to help Liz White.
The two did not want to give up a glimmer of hope of parenthood, and soon rushed to the Klein Clinic in Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana.
According to her recollection, the whole clinic was full of photos of babies, and the cute little faces made her inner maternal love overflow, she wanted to have a child of her and her husband too much.
She quickly accepted the doctor's plan of treatment and used a live sperm injection to complete the IVF. This is the end of the couple's road to seeking children, and the two really can't find better medical technology.
No one expected that this perverted doctor would use a trick to steal the beam and change the column, secretly ran to the small room to replace the donor's sperm, and injected his own live sperm into the female patient.
At the beginning, when Dr. Klein was treated, only the patient himself and the doctor could stay in the room, and the rest had to recuse, even the work of the nurse was handled by Dr. Klein alone.
But Liz White did not have any doubts, out of trust in the profession of doctor, she would do whatever the doctor commanded, she was like a crab to be boiled at the mercy of the doctor.
She lay alone on the cold operating table, took off her clothes, spread her legs, and put her calves into a leg brace to wait for semen injection. At this time, Dr. Klein will always reach in with his hand to check first.
Later, he ran to another small room alone to remove the needle filled with semen. In this process, it is actually a link that no one can monitor.
He completed his ejaculation alone in a small room and then performed the artificial insemination procedure in a state of sexual arousal.
It was not until 2014, after the crime of the demon doctor was exposed, that the overwhelming news reports made Liz White suddenly realize that he had been raped by doctors 15 times.
The son she gave birth to, Matthew, was actually the flesh and blood of the doctor, not the original promise of Dr. Klein, and the sperm donors were some social elites and excellent college students.
2. The Jacoba warrior's path to visiting relatives
In 1981, Jacoba was born into a wealthy family, and her parents doted on her since she was a child, but there was one thing that haunted her deeply. Her appearance is simply very different from her parents.
Both parents had black hair and brown eyes, while she was blonde and blue-eyed, and at a young age she wondered why she hadn't inherited her parents' appearance. It wasn't until her mother explained it to her that she suddenly realized.
It turned out that her mother and father were unable to have children, and the two had no choice but to run to the hospital for examination, only to learn that her husband had dead sperm and could not give birth to a child at all.
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making the two upset and overwhelmed, they did not dare to imagine how terrible it was to be lonely without the company of children.
They began to search for medical treatment, and finally found Klein, a well-known expert in the obstetrics and gynecology industry at the time. At that time, the veterinarian recommended the live sperm protocol to the duo.
Husbands are reluctant to accept other people's sperm into their wives to complete artificial insemination, which is equivalent to raising children for others. Seeing this, Klein immediately gave the two a shot in the arm.
He began to comfort the two, saying that in American society today, there are many couples who practice this active sperm conception program, and it will be a major trend in the future.
The two gritted their teeth and finally agreed to the doctor's plan, and a year later, they successfully gave birth to a daughter, named Jacoba.
But her daughter is often discriminated against because of her appearance, and she is often bullied by classmates at school, and she often cries to her parents about her experiences at school and why her appearance is completely different from her parents.
Only then did her parents tell Jacoba the truth, and at the age of 10, she came to the Klein Clinic alone to find out who the man who donated sperm to her mother was.
However, the doctor made it clear that he would strictly protect the privacy of sperm donors and never disclose customer information. Although Jacoba failed in her quest to find her biological father, she still wants to know the identity of the man who is related to her blood relatives.
In 2014, when a former teenage girl transformed into a married woman, she stumbled upon an online company that could do online DNA testing. So, she began to try it out and downloaded the company's app.
Jacoba then followed the software instructions step by step and then sent his saliva sample to the company's testing site. She waited expectantly for loved ones who matched her DNA.
But the result surprised her, there were 7 people who matched her DNA data, isn't this a joke? Could it be that the father was an abusive man who sowed everywhere he went?
Soon, she contacted the seven siblings privately, and after some communication, she learned that the biological mothers of several people had undergone artificial insemination at the Klein Clinic.
At this moment, a seed of doubt was planted in her heart, and when he asked the doctor about sperm donation, he made it clear that sperm donors can only donate a maximum of three times.
She is still not sure whether the doctor played any tricks during the operation, but the doctor's words are no longer credible. She wanted to investigate her relationship with these siblings.
So Jacoba asked the DNA testing company to check again, and the results were even more striking. This time, more than 30 sets of data matched with themselves, and it was almost exploded.
Jacoba began to go to the Klein Clinic with 7 brothers and sisters who had been contacted offline to ask what sperm donors were in this clinic.
When she came to this clinic for the second time, her heart turned upside down, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't. The group of them went straight to Klein's office and found that he seemed to have expected it.
I saw the poultry veterinarian indifferent arrangement for several people to sit down, asking them to introduce themselves first, and then as if showing off how powerful they are, the children sitting on the sofa are his trophies.
He even compared these children to see which sperm produced the better children. As a medical worker, I don't even have the most basic professional ethics.
3. The road to whistleblowing and exposure
At this moment, Jacoba was determined to expose the demon doctor and make him spend his later life squatting in prison to atone for his sins. When his crimes were discovered, there was no trace of remorse.
After meeting with the demon doctor, they began to seek legal recourse for the victims. As a result, when Klein received letters from the local state court, it summoned him to trial from time to time.
Instead, ask if the doctor really did that dirty thing, just out of respect for the doctor. The cunning and insidious Klein certainly would not admit guilt in the court's letter.
He insists that he treats her infertility with live sperm in a responsible manner for every female patient, and has never used his own sperm to forcibly inject them into them.
Soon, the local prosecutor's office stopped meddling in the matter after receiving the reply. This immediately aroused Jacoba's strong resentment, the doctor had clearly committed a crime, how could he be sloppy on the basis of his words?
Jacoba decided to join other siblings to investigate how many families had visited the clinic between 1979 and 1986. Don't check at this time, let alone when.
The 97 children who live in the same neighborhood as Jacoba are half-siblings, and they are all from the same beast, Klein.
It is hard to imagine that people can start a romantic relationship or even get married when they mistakenly believe that they are not related by blood. The consequences of marriage between close relatives are unimaginable, ranging from mental retardation to serious birth to rare diseases.
Since it is impossible to punish this demon doctor through the procuratorate, seek online help to expose this human demon. During this period, Jacoba received threatening letters and prank couriers more than once.
Obviously, the mastermind behind the scenes is the human demon Dr. Klein, and the years have not worn away his vicious edges, but have taught him to speak and quibble.
He once revealed to his son that at that time, many elites and college students did not approve of this kind of sperm donation, and could not find a suitable sperm donor, he could only go into battle in person, only donated 10 times.
How can 97 children have his genes? It is clear that he is lying.
As the popularity of the incident continued to rise, netizens gradually learned about the shady scene of artificial insemination that year. The protests became more and more enthusiastic, and after Jacoba received the support of many netizens, he once again submitted evidence of the demon doctor's crime to the Indiana Attorney General's Office.
However, this kind of maternity fraud is not a crime from a legal point of view. Neither federal nor state law explicitly stipulates that doctors cannot use their own sperm to help fertility seekers.
In the end, the court found Dr. Klein not guilty of birth fraud, but punished him on another charge by making false statements to investigators.
Dr. Klein was stripped of his medical license and sentenced to $500 suspended for one year.
This punishment is like a false one, and for an elderly man in his 70s, it has not affected him in any way.
However, although Jacoba's whistleblowing did not severely punish the demon doctor, it improved Indiana's law, and the local government added such a provision through legislation.
The use of one's own sperm or eggs by a doctor to treat infertility without the patient's consent is defined as an illegal crime and is punishable by life imprisonment in severe cases.
