Tragic for the families and affected children. I’m not the biggest fan of sperm donations considering there are obviously next to no laws that prevent hundreds of kids being born to the same sperm donor.

All of the experts we spoke to said using a licensed clinic meant the sperm would be screened for more diseases than most fathers-to-be are.

Yes, but fathers-to-be don’t usually make dozens or hundreds of babies. And sometimes by the time they want another child, the firstborn might already exhibit genetic mutations that prompts testing parents and give them a better picture of the risks of having another child.
