He deserves prison and to be just sued.

[paisleycircus]

He’s done this more than once I’d be willing to bet.

[SafetySpooon]

AGAIN???? This is NOT the FIRST time this has happened w/a vile scumbag who runs a clinic!

[Gologo]

This is just a money grab from the mother and daughter at this point.... woman go to great lengths to get what they want. Very calculated.

[sew_gal]

That is disgusting, imagine having your doctor's sperm wiggling inside you!!!! I hope she sues him for everything he is worth!! And the daughter hopefully gets half of his inheritance since she is technically his daughter. This is easily solved with DNA test, and the daughter has his nose!!! I am creeped out just thinking about it.

[chrisoneill]

It could have been accidental. Perhaps he just forgot to wash his hands.

[paulaeller]

I'm confused what difference does it make. His only crime is that he didn't tell them where the sperm came from. I mean that's why these woman go to fertility clinics.

[robynlea]

This is so disgusting, I don't have words for this type of conduct? Unethical, he broke his promise, what is it called, like an oath, as a doctor. How can somebody do something like that, doctor or not?

[MunyarRhazymusic]

it's consensual until someone get caught..

[dragonsguardianofcrystalhearts]

Wow. What an abuse of power. I just cant even imagine being the child it the woman. This is awful.

[terrancebettencourt-inxg]

The dr is still a better choice than most of the losers the women pick

[pennyandluckpokerclub]

Hello, Maury? Think you might wanna see this...

[Eagles]

The daughter grew up to be a wealthy attorney. What are her damages?

[liberty]

This is exactly why nobody should use IVF.

[terrypetersen]

Wasn't this a Law and Order episode? Watched it and thought it was far fetched. Not making light of the situation. This so called Doctor betrayed and IMO assaulted this woman and others.

[j.l.]

Is Dr Burger married & have own children? If I were here, not have children cuz of Dr Burger. It's disgusting, wonder why! 😢😤

[teddybetts]

This was literally in a Law & Order episode.
In season 5, episode 15 "Seed"

[paulaeller]

Life imitates art. This was an episode on law and order lol

[posthocprior]

How did they get the DNA of Dr Berger? And how did they go about the process of narrowing the search of who the missing parent could be? That is, I assume there either had to be some voluntarily compliance from Dr Berger in order to get his DNA. If not, then the DNA must have gotten from either a similar case or one in which Dr Berger was forced to turn over a sample of his DNA.

[rosiehellraiser]

Nonsense, she wanted a baby and he gave her one, a beautiful one at that, what the hell they're complaining about, never said the child was sickly, daughter should be least offended, if parents could do the job they won't be in the doctors' office.
