1 Sperm Donation, 20+ Kids, & $5M Lawsuit

I think it's super cool and empathetic of the kids to support him. Sure, they're glad to be alive, but a wrong was done to that man, and it's nice to see that they aren't taking it personally.

Imagine taking a dna test and a week later getting 17 missed calls from unknown numbers saying “hey sibling “

I feel this violation is SO gross. How dare they go against the contract they put in place. What a negligent practice that took place. They used this man.

The problem with this is… what if you wind up falling in love with a half sibling , completely unaware you’ve got the same sperm daddy?

I don’t know why parents aren’t transparent with their children

4 kids + 5 step kids + 17 donor kids??. Wow!!!

The one woman said her kids will have to get DNA tests on the people they are dating to make sure they arent siblings... That is so sad and so true. These clinics are screwing with generations of people. Imagine the grandkids of these people, there could be hundreds of them. First cousins will definitely end up marrying not knowing they are related.

As a parent, what is the point of lying to your child about how they were made? That is so weird to me.

Just imagine, 17 siblings in the same area? Say they each have 2 or 3 kids. That's 30 to 50 people in the area who are 1st cousins and DON'T KNOW. That shit severely fucks with the gene pool. I'm glad he's seeking legal action to get some kind of regulations put in place because that's legit scary to think about.

My dad had kids with other women before he married my mom. He lost touch with them, but we knew they were out there. However, it wasn’t until we were all adults that we finally met up. It’s the most bizarre experience to meet someone who is essentially a total stranger, yet someone to whom you are so closely related. We found out that we are all very much alike in looks and mannerism even have mutual interests and we all get along great together. I have two brothers and three sisters. All of them wonderful people with kids and grandkids.

So important for there to be a regulation. Like Madi said, they need to make sure that they and their children are not biologically related to the person they are dating. How insane is that to even think about?!?

I’m about to be a father and I almost donated sperm myself. You can see that all of them have green eyes and have the same keen intelligence and curiosity he has. The eldest has his nose. I’m amazed at how they all look. Madi is BEAUTIFUL.

Any man who donates ought to be on a national registry. Anytime a child is born from a donor's sperm that should go on the national registry. It needs to be made easy to find and keep track of your genetic siblings. Infertility doctors ought to be on a DNA registry so that donor fraud can be found early. Include IVF because fraud can happen there, too.

What's really scary is that biological siblings don't always look alike. In my family there was a redhead, a blond, and two darker browns, and facial features were also not that similar unless you were looking for them.

The potential for inter-breeding is such a problem among the small population on the island of Iceland that they have to keep family records and get DNA tested before dating.

Some of them look so much like him, they have beautiful green eyes

Wow. This is awful for Bryce, and the idea of related people in a nearby distance to one another. Additionally, the idea of OSHU just deciding to do whatever they wanted, sheesh. really impacts people who would have wanted to contribute.

If I were the donor I'd be pissed, imagine being near the end of your life and suddenly 20+ kids come along and want to have some kind of relationship with you. My guess is he probably had forgotten he had even donated and now this mess falls into his lap. 5 mil isn't near enough money, you want to severely punish the medical center that did this and 5 mil is probably a drop in the bucket for them.

they are all beautiful kids! I'm glad they found each other

There needs to be regulation. At least the kids showcase the good temper and good heart of Dr. Bryce. Not the worst genes to be spreading, but this definitely needs to be regulated.
