A Dutch court has ordered a hefty fine of approximately $110,000 to be paid by a prolific sperm donor if he attempts to donate again. Jonathan Jacob Meijer, aged 41, has fathered over 500 children through sperm donations, despite making promises to limit the risk of accidental incest by stopping his donation process. A lawsuit was launched by one of the mothers who used his sperm, revealing that Meijer had misled them about adhering to legal limits. The court has now ordered Meijer to cease all further donations and instruct any clinic where he has donated to destroy his samples immediately. This ruling raises important questions about sperm donation regulations and oversight, as well as the consequences for violating such regulations.
