Holland-the former director of a Bank of semen in the Netherlands, died in 2017, is the biological father of 49 children born by in vitro fertilization, announced today an organization representing parents and children at the center of this case. Jan Karbaat, physician and former head of a Bank of semen in Barendrecht, is situated in the southwest of the Netherlands, is suspected of having used his own sperm instead of the chosen donors on numerous occasions.

The results confirm the serious suspicion that Karbaat used his own semen in his clinic
The uproar this case grew in February when a Dutch Court decided that samples of DNA from Karbaat should be made available of parents and their children so that they can carry out the comparisons. Jan Karbaat, former director of this clinic located near Rotterdam (West), said before his death in early April that was the biological father of 60 children of the time who worked at the clinic, which closed in 2009 by administrative irregularities. Karbaat would have falsified data and descriptions of semen donors, and exceeded the agreed maximum of six children per donor. The Group of alleged children of Karbaat and their families tried to action in justice for the doctor’s DNA profile. Lawyers for the family of Karbaat had argued that the right to privacy of clients should be respected. “The decision of the judges to allow a paternity test”settled the right of children in front of the Karbaat and his family”, reacted Iara de Witte, Minister of Defence Organization for Children”.
Now, after years of uncertainty, plaintiffs can close this chapter and begin to digest the fact that they are one of the many descendants of Karbaat

“We recommend: Fisher Price checked out chairs for babies after deaths in America one of the children, Eric Lever, had said in February the Dutch newspaper NRC”do not be angry against Karbaat”.” I don’t have the impression that have cheated my mother. Really wanted a son and could not have with my father,”he explained. According to Defence for Children it is likely that Jan Karbaat is the biological father of more than 49 children revealed on Friday, the Dutch ANP press agency reported.
