Unregulated Sperm Donor 'Joe Donor' Loses Legal Fight to Be Recognized as Father of Four-Year-Old
A US sperm donor who calls himself Joe Donor has lost his fourth court case seeking to be recognized as the father of a child conceived using his sperm. The president of the family division ruled that despite his genetic fatherhood being undisputed, declaring him a legal parent would contradict public policy given his operation of an illegal sperm donation business and history of targeting vulnerable women.
