Doctor uses his own sperm for the infertile

So, you go to your doctor for AI.  And..... lo and behold, HE is the donor... over and over again.

This is beyond acceptable and he is creepy beyond creepy.

The best line in the article, tho: "Nine children of former patients found out they were children" - amusing in a literary sense, but it doesn't forgive what he did.

I've heard stories like this. Talk about super creepy, indeed.

And for some reason, as I'm reading this thread I can't get the picture of a scene from The Handmaid's Tale movie out of my head. The handmaid (was it Natasha Richardson?) was in the dr's office, & the doctor offered to help her get pregnant himself (instead of the man she was assigned to).

Thanks! I was trying to remember this case. The details are even worse than I thought.

I just read the info on the link; he was given a Nobel Prize for being a creeper? 

I'm glad he was stripped of his medical license, at least.

Ignoble Prize. It's a joke award sometimes given to creepers but also to the outrageous or just plain silly. My favorite was the one to verify the shape of the penis during vaginal intercourse. It involved acrobats having sex in an MRI machine.

Simply amazing. I had no idea such things existed. Thanks for sharing, @paganbaby

They have a ceremony that's held about a month after the Nobel prizes are given out, if I recall correctly.  They even get Nobel Laureates to give out the Ignobels!
