WATCH: Fertility doctor uses his own sperm to impregnate patients

Say what now? Did he really think no one would notice?!

This is by far one of the most gripping and crazy real-life stories we have ever heard. 

When we think of the title, 'Doctor', we assume trustworthy, professional, and ethical. But this fertility doctor was none of those things from what this story reveals. 

The Netflix documentary shares the story of 94 known biological children fathered by Dr Donald Cline, a fertility doctor who abused his position. 

The doccie, 'Our Father', shares the story of how this fertility doctor abused his position and used his own sperm to impregnate his patients for years.

"Jacoba Ballard, who performed a home DNA test in 2014, said she was shocked to discover that her biological father was Dr. Donald Cline, the prominent fertility specialist who treated her mom in 1979." (Insider)

Sadly, his unethical behaviour went on for many years without being known or questioned until Ballard started her investigation. 

What's worse is that this isn't the first case of this nature, but it is the most extreme case. Cline not only lied to patients about what he was doing, but he lied about it when Ballard first confronted him about it.

What kind of world do we live in when your doctor takes advantage of you? Certainly one of the most bizarre stories we have heard, but is it better knowing the truth than living in the lie?
