The Dutch court has cleared a DNA test that confirmed on Friday that the doctor Jan Karbaat, who died in 2017, 49 women were inseminated with their own sperm. and he did it in his clinic in Barendrecht, near Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

In the same proportion, it is hundreds of people born by artificial insemination who claim that justice allows them to undergo a DNA test to know if they are children of the doctor.
