A lack of regulation at Queensland’s fertility clinics may have led to a donor fathering hundreds of children, sparking incest fears. An investigation into the state’s assisted reproductive technology providers has also revealed claims of a couple receiving the wrong sperm. Health Minister Shannon Fentiman said on Wednesday she was shocked by the Office of the Health Ombudsman’s damning findings. Fentiman had requested the investigation following more than 200 complaints.
The report also identified problems with the collection and storage of genetic material after complaints of the misplacement of sperm donations, wrong embryos used during transfers, and mixing eggs with sperm from incorrect donors. A couple underwent a treatment to have three children, intending for all to be related using a single sperm donor. But following private genetic testing, they found out the youngest two were not related to the eldest child.
