In Britain, a sperm donor deliberately concealed a genetic disease.

In Derby, 37-year-old James McDougall offered sperm donor services to homosexual women on social media while hiding the fact that he had an incurable genetic disease. Martin-Bell syndrome, diagnosed in a Briton, leads to developmental delay and decreased intelligence. McDougall fathered 15 children. The peculiarities of the man and his deceit became known during the court session of the commission on family affairs. McDougall asked to be allowed to communicate with four of the 15 children, despite the fact that he had previously signed a no-contact agreement. The affected women were against it. The court deprived McDougall of paternity and forbade him from being a sperm donor for other women.
