A Dutch woman and a foundation for children of sperm donors are suing a Dutch man for fathering too many children.
Forty-one-year-old Jonathan Jacob Meijer, a musician living in Kenya, is the biological father of at least 550 children. In the face of government inaction they are trying to force him to stop. According to Donorkind:
The donor has delivered his sperm to at least 13 clinics in the Netherlands and abroad. He also approaches prospective parents who are looking for a donor for home insemination via meeting platforms and social media. He lies about the number of children he has fathered. According to guidelines at clinics, a donor can donate a maximum of 25 children or for 12 families to prevent inbreeding, incest and psychological problems for donor children. Read more here.
