Back in the mid-'80s, I had a lesbian couple as good friends. They asked me to donate sperm when they wanted to have a child. After some serious thought, I refused. I just didn't want a child of mine in the world, that I had no part in raising.
It's a child support risk which I would not take. You never know if, despite all agreements and any contracts signed, if a court will send you a bill or a law is passed which applies retrospectively.

Hair. That was the most important characteristic for hundreds of women in choosing a father for their children. Kind of explains a lot about the people you meet every day, and the state of the human race in general.
A receding hairline is a significant source of worry for many men and maybe the mothers did not want their child to go through this when they reached adulthood.
If the donor looked like this one, he'd be lucky to make it out of the parking lot. Actually, he might find walking difficult. Like, would he have a group discount? There are old ladies here, discounts matter.
Thanks Dr. Grande. Perhaps if the courts had ruled he was financially responsible for his children, his hands on approach would have stopped a long time ago.
Yes. They cared more about their kids having long blonde hair than their kids being smart, getting a good education, or being able to get a good job. Intelligence and some factors that help someone get good work is genetic so they might want to care about those factors if they want their children to grow up to have a more conventional kind of success than having hundreds of test tube babies.
How sad that so many women would be so concerned with their children having such superficial characteristics (long blond hair) versus characteristics that actually matter like kindness, ambition, intelligence, compassion, etc.
I've heard that men supposed to inherit their hairline from their mothers side of the family but I don't think I place to much stock in that as my 85 yo dad still has a full head of hair (more than I do, as his daughter) while his younger brothers (5 & 14 years younger) are completely bald on top. My Dad had gorgeous dark, thick and wavy hair but I unfortunately got my mothers horribly thin/fine mousy brown hair :(.
Yeap, from the mother. The baldness gene comes from the mothers. My mother is balding, and my youngest brother is balding too. It's passed on the X chromosome.
I know a woman with very large teal blue eyes who donated eggs to a bank. She mothered at LEAST six children overseas she knows about. She never told her family because she knows her parents would be heartbroken that she "gave their grandkids away." Also, only one or two of the kids she knows of have her eyes. Betting on a recessive trait is a very bad idea.
As a fellow bald man with no ability to diagnose anyone I also can only speculate what's up hear, but I can confirm I have less children than this man. Maybe it is the hair?
Another factor missing from your statistics is the fact that all of these children form a single age (or close in age) cohort. From the documentary, they all appear to be within ten years of one another, thus increasing the likelihood that they will be in similar grades in school and university. 😒
That was my favorite soap opera. My gma inadvertently got me hooked way back in the early mid 70's. Erica & Mark (the jingle writer) were together. I watched, religiously, til 1990 when I had my 1st child. (Idkh ppl with kids find time to watch soaps). AMC's final ep was Sept 2013, so his chances of getting a guest spot might have a few obstacles 😉.
The next generation of All My Children will have a full cast of his children. The married half siblings will make it one of the most realistic soap operas in the world.
After seeing the half brother and sister in Africa who fell in love got married got pregnant before finding out they shared a father.. and it was only 2 people make me wary it may happen more often than many realize
Full adopted siblings too, it happens more because the siblings are in eachothers age range and they do report a sort of instant connection. Genetic attraction isn't that easily dismissed when parents fall in love with their child and that child with them after reuniting as adults. Something that has no reason of happening without that factor. I didn't grow up with my father and certainly wasn't attracted to him but I do know he felt the way my mother felt. Without any positive associations or feelings about it I think that's not a factor science can figure out yet.

He looks terrible. He is disgusting for his actions. He has created chaos. I feel so sorry for these children. I really hope all these parents were honest with these children. I feel bad for their dating life. Imagine finding out you have over 500 biological siblings, who you know nothing about. It should be law that children know if they are adopted and that they were from a sperm donations
Tonly those that conceived via private donation and not through a legitimate fertility clinc could sue; though I'm not aware of Dutch law. The woman that conceived the 'old fashioned way' has a _very_ good case for child support.
This will end up being one heck of a mental health study with genetics! Between the way this guy acts and the high standards the mothers chose to get that particular seed will be interesting.
This is how people end up dating their own sibling. All these men having children with different women and the children grow up not knowing each other.
TBH that is the only issue I can really relate with, I don't get any of the objections beyond that fact, it's not like you have to organize a 500 person reunion every year.
I think your tone of the consequences misses the mark quite a bit. See the case of Donald Cline (doctor who used his own sperm to impregnate patients - patients thought they were just getting donor sperm). His children have had a very difficult time with the situation. Especially given how many children this man has in the Netherlands, it’s quite possible to end up meeting a sibling without knowing it with horrifying mental health concerns if romantic relationships form. This isn’t about birthday cards.
I agree, this situation has lots of consequences with the children and while I usually like videos on this channel, I think Todd has failed to thoroughly look into the emotional and psychological impacts on the children of knowing they are one of hundreds of siblings and Dad is a compulsive liar.
Dr Grande, I have just finished watching this on Netflix and I was going to ask for your analysis of this! It appears you have read my mind. Keep up the magnificent work Doc 🇬🇧
I'm not diagnosing anyone - just speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this, but..... did you forget to put your arms on this morning??
@@user-ec3rm9wr1n that is the most disgusting part of this whole disgusting incident 🤮 what an immature zesty delusional idea to even have. I hope it wasn't true 🤮🤮
This is a comedy channel. Nothing is funnier than Dr. Grande’s pained looks of suppressed disgust when describing the lurid aspects of behavior. Like a parent having to describe how they caught their toddler of eating its own feces. 😂
Anyone who thinks women don't find long blonde hair a fetish hasn't dated in the past decade. I have (short) blonde hair and the first and most consistent request from my past three relationships was to grow my hair out, as if it was the most important thing at the beginning of the relationship. It's weird.
Thinking it through a bit, Jason Mammoa, Brad in his youth, Heath Ledger, Vikings, the Beatles, John Lennon etc...long black hair can be frightening, but close cropped blonde hair is too goodie goodie? Roughness is needed for a light haired man and will always be appealing if clean!IMO (This guy may know w/makeup he'd make a swell femme?...could be a great, great grandson of Hitler's experiments w/producing "superior light haired Germany master race"?....ugh)
Seeing how many dentists have been featured on this channel and other true crime podcasts, Johnathan might not have been entirely wrong on that. (Joke)
Omgosh, I am so glad Dr Grande covered this. The flowing, beautiful blond hair of the donor kept coming up in the documentary no matter how many deceptions and outright lying he did right in their faces. Thank you for addressing the hair importance. It did seem like all the other traits one would assume to be very important to a person looking for a potential parent of their child did seem to blow away once his hairness shook his long mane in their direction. Wow!
He probably took advantage of far flung friends (the Dutch love to travel & live abroad), and, of course he could have "donated" anywhere he traveled. 😊😊
The spermbank in Kenya funded his travel, hotel and everything else when he went there. It's likely he only travelled to deposit his sperm at spermbanks... and he was already getting competition from other guys as well. Insane.
Brain psyche and defective prefrontal cortex needs to be put into consideration for sperm and egg donors. MRIs should be mandatory to vet those who don't have access to empathy(narcissism/psychopathy). Right now it's all focused on visuals, which isn't relevant to brain psyche.
Many avoid services that cost $. Which is how they find weird internet super donors to begin with. There are guys who will help with the natural method too. 😅 Hulu and Vice have both done documentaries on the subject. Better than this one IMO.
11:30: Perhaps look at the probability of incest in The Netherlands. The map of recipients shown in the story was highly concentrated there vs the rest of Europe and the world at large. The possibility of consanguinity there would theoretically be much higher due to physical proximity, common language and customs, etc. A sperm clinic physician on the show was embarrassingly incompetent in apparently trusting donors to be honest about the number of times they donated without performing due dilligence and tracking donations proactively. His naieveté was appalling.
I agree, in the Netflix documentary one of the women was a kindergarten teacher and noticed that her daughter looked very similar to a colleague's daughter, and someone related to her niece as well as someone who was friends with her ex also had children who turned out to all have the same sperm donor. That's 4 children close in age within the same school district and a high risk of incest.
Another great aspect of this channel is the fact that Dr Grande manages to wrap up any case analysis in humor, intelligence and simplicity. By doing that, he leaves us comforted even though some of the cases depict really evil people. Working in environments where some of what I see is also hard to digest, I wish I'd have my very own Dr Grande, presenting those instances. Thank you for your work.
The “prolific donator “ knew what he was doing and he’s rotten. But the recipients of the donations have some responsibility especially those that operated outside the control of an established bank. They obtained what they wanted for free and were operating outside the system which offers controls over this ( but indeed there has to be a better international system of control ). Fortunately for these kids there is cheap DNA testing available to them to avoid the future inbreeding etc
Ladies should realize that banks are readily available everywhere - and they're called bars lol Potential donors often are ready in less than 5 minutes. [ref: local hair stylist]
Did you consider the fact that his donations to clinics would be used by women living near those clinics? It seems that this would increase chances of his children coming in contact with others who shared their DNA
"I imagine the construct of finding it hard was a familiar feeling for Jonathan, given the frequency of his donations" Dr Grande with his gold level deadpan humor gets me EVERY time 😆😭
These women aren't necessarily representative of the women who've used artificial insemination. They may be fringe, like the women who've sought out and formed "relationships" with Death Row inmates or other prison inmates.
@@biglimes - It was that many children - not that many women. And even if it were 1K women, that would pale in comparison to the number of women who have used a sperm donor. I didn't claim that they're fringe - I said that they may be fringe. If you want to argue that they're typical of women who have used a sperm donor, you'll need to do more than point to this man an his 1K children.
he has a lot to release regarding these forthcoming topics. the insight strokes my intellect and helps me shoot this knowledge in the face of my peers.
The one thing you didnt acknowledge is that even people who want intelligence as a factor in their sperm selection still dont want their kid to be unattractive. Nobody wants a funny looking kid! Attractiveness is a positive feature in life no matter what we'd like to believe. Maybe the fact that he has very bland features, aside from the hair, made them believe that more of their own feature would somehow show through better? Regardless, your dry humor got me once again during your remarks about finding it hard a lot! Hahaha! Thank you @Drgrande
I have noticed over the years that average looking parents tend to have beautiful children, yet gorgeous parents have average to below average looking kids. It's weird.
@@HappyOne3 well except for me and my ex, we had a beautiful son! Hahaha just kidding he is really beautiful but idk about me and the ex? We must be homely and in denial lol.
Kinda a perfect metaphor. Choosing from what you see on the outside instead of what it's inside is a deep mistake. (hair vs mind) Anyways it also shows that this way of having children is bad in itself. It's choosing the outside (genetics, body) without caring in the "inside" (a father, a person that will be there to help educate, not just give his DNA sample).
- Eating raw organs: unorthodox, but harmless if done correctly. - Believing dentists are evil: nothing wrong here. It’s a 100% true, science-based certified fact. - Not using sunscreen: dumb choice, but severely relatable

Tonly those that conceived via private donation and not through a legitimate fertility clinc could sue; though I'm not aware of Dutch law. The woman that conceived the 'old fashioned way' has a _very_ good case for child support.
“Oceans of blond hair will strangle the planet earth.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That’s too funny!
Great review, humor and statistical analysis!
Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

Children act like their fathers. Choosing an exceedingly weird man to have a child with might be a mistake.
Yeah but who cares he has big hair, Blonde hair. Women are ridiculous.
But they will have great hair!!! 😂😂😂
This will end up being one heck of a mental health study with genetics! Between the way this guy acts and the high standards the mothers chose to get that particular seed will be interesting.
But... the feelings !
You got that right!
This is how people end up dating their own sibling. All these men having children with different women and the children grow up not knowing each other.

Disgusting, now imagine those siblings getting together 💀
oh thats a very good point actually, i didnt think of it.
Watch the docu, it's even worse than you think.
TBH that is the only issue I can really relate with, I don't get any of the objections beyond that fact, it's not like you have to organize a 500 person reunion every year.

I think your tone of the consequences misses the mark quite a bit. See the case of Donald Cline (doctor who used his own sperm to impregnate patients - patients thought they were just getting donor sperm). His children have had a very difficult time with the situation. Especially given how many children this man has in the Netherlands, it’s quite possible to end up meeting a sibling without knowing it with horrifying mental health concerns if romantic relationships form. This isn’t about birthday cards.
IDK if it's the same guy. A fertility doctor? He was kind of goofy looking and all his kids, well, they got the goofy looking gene. Thanks Dad!
I agree, this situation has lots of consequences with the children and while I usually like videos on this channel, I think Todd has failed to thoroughly look into the emotional and psychological impacts on the children of knowing they are one of hundreds of siblings and Dad is a compulsive liar.
completely agree! The consequences in a tiny country like the Netherlands will be big.. If there are already 3 half-siblings in one grade-school.
Dr Grande, I have just finished watching this on Netflix and I was going to ask for your analysis of this! It appears you have read my mind. Keep up the magnificent work Doc 🇬🇧
But when will women start judging a man on his subscribers count and not his hair count? SMDH 😅
😅😅😅😅😅.
I'm not diagnosing anyone - just speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this, but..... did you forget to put your arms on this morning??
Oh, boy! The child support! 550 kids?

Idiocracy inbound.
Literally 😂
going to Starbucks for help donating sperm lol
He's not too different from Elon Musk who has 12 kids and only 53...he could catch up with this guy?
This is a comedy channel. Nothing is funnier than Dr. Grande’s pained looks of suppressed disgust when describing the lurid aspects of behavior. Like a parent having to describe how they caught their toddler of eating its own feces. 😂
And all seriousness, this is actually a severe problem and I have no idea how bureaucracy failed to the point where it allowed us to happen
Jonathon did it all on his own
@@joycejnn damn, that’s wild
It did. The legal fertility clinics banned him from continuing to donate when they relized what he was doing.
John Jacob Meijer-heimer Schmidt. Your dad is my dad too!
Yup,as soon as i heard his name i couldn't get that song out of my head too
Anyone who thinks women don't find long blonde hair a fetish hasn't dated in the past decade. I have (short) blonde hair and the first and most consistent request from my past three relationships was to grow my hair out, as if it was the most important thing at the beginning of the relationship. It's weird.
Did u do it? 😂
Guys have always asked me to grow my hair out, too (when it wasn’t long at the time). I guess humans like hair.
Thinking it through a bit, Jason Mammoa, Brad in his youth, Heath Ledger, Vikings, the Beatles, John Lennon etc...long black hair can be frightening, but close cropped blonde hair is too goodie goodie? Roughness is needed for a light haired man and will always be appealing if clean!IMO (This guy may know w/makeup he'd make a swell femme?...could be a great, great grandson of Hitler's experiments w/producing "superior light haired Germany master race"?....ugh)
Kind of like guys
Shave the pubes and grow the hair out. Women are crazy nowadays.
"Like they had never seen long hair before, in their lives😂😂😂😂😂😂
His kids will most definitely hate him, especially if they see this.
him? not the brain dead mothers ?
Seeing how many dentists have been featured on this channel and other true crime podcasts, Johnathan might not have been entirely wrong on that. (Joke)
Not joke. I’m traumatised and continue to be so. They are bitter failed Doctors.
Omgosh, I am so glad Dr Grande covered this. The flowing, beautiful blond hair of the donor kept coming up in the documentary no matter how many deceptions and outright lying he did right in their faces. Thank you for addressing the hair importance. It did seem like all the other traits one would assume to be very important to a person looking for a potential parent of their child did seem to blow away once his hairness shook his long mane in their direction. Wow!
This video should have ended with a shot of Dr. Grande wearing a wig of long blonde hair.
I watched this docuseries twice. I still can’t figure out how he could afford to do all that traveling.
He probably took advantage of far flung friends (the Dutch love to travel & live abroad), and, of course he could have "donated" anywhere he traveled. 😊😊
My guess is many women ended up paying for his "premium sperm" or for using the "natural insemination method" but are too ashamed to say.
Its in the video. Bitcoin
The spermbank in Kenya funded his travel, hotel and everything else when he went there. It's likely he only travelled to deposit his sperm at spermbanks... and he was already getting competition from other guys as well. Insane.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about 550 IVF children like this.
Most won't be IVF.
@@BigZebraCom they weren't IVF. They were "turkey baster"
I have been WAITING for you to release this (pun intended!)
He is single-handedly responsible for the country changing its name to the Nuttinglands.
Single-handedly 😂
The fact that intellect, family history etc wasn’t a factor with these women is very telling - about them.
Poor kids to have him as a donor, 500 sibs & a mother that is definitely not right in the head is tough.
Absolutely. So many pitiful women who cared only about such superficial things like "long blond hair."
He’s got nice hair but is painfully average looking. Some might even consider him ugly.
Depends where you live.
Yeah so strange how in so many people’s eye white and blonde automatically = perfect.
The face is creepy and the eyes. He looks weasely or shady
Agree. Attractiveness is so subjective.
Yeah, I'm calling bu11shit. Average at best.
I have nice hair and I've fathered two children. Pretty crazy.
The child or you? 😂 jk
Literally laying down on the job.. Sigh.
Veeeeery crazy!
Brain psyche and defective prefrontal cortex needs to be put into consideration for sperm and egg donors. MRIs should be mandatory to vet those who don't have access to empathy(narcissism/psychopathy). Right now it's all focused on visuals, which isn't relevant to brain psyche.
Many avoid services that cost $. Which is how they find weird internet super donors to begin with. There are guys who will help with the natural method too. 😅 Hulu and Vice have both done documentaries on the subject. Better than this one IMO.
@@pnwlady If a woman is going after a sperm donor from a 'natural method', you are almost guaranteed to be getting psychopath sperm.
The song “I’m My Own Grandpa” will be the Netherlands new national anthem.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😵💫😵💫😵💫
11:30: Perhaps look at the probability of incest in The Netherlands. The map of recipients shown in the story was highly concentrated there vs the rest of Europe and the world at large. The possibility of consanguinity there would theoretically be much higher due to physical proximity, common language and customs, etc.
A sperm clinic physician on the show was embarrassingly incompetent in apparently trusting donors to be honest about the number of times they donated without performing due dilligence and tracking donations proactively. His naieveté was appalling.
I agree, in the Netflix documentary one of the women was a kindergarten teacher and noticed that her daughter looked very similar to a colleague's daughter, and someone related to her niece as well as someone who was friends with her ex also had children who turned out to all have the same sperm donor. That's 4 children close in age within the same school district and a high risk of incest.
@annaf3915 also the the Netherland is a very small country compared to USA, even if you move out of town chances are still high
I think this is the most funny thing ever.
I was waiting for the punch line that he had a wig all the time.
Another great aspect of this channel is the fact that Dr Grande manages to wrap up any case analysis in humor, intelligence and simplicity. By doing that, he leaves us comforted even though some of the cases depict really evil people. Working in environments where some of what I see is also hard to digest, I wish I'd have my very own Dr Grande, presenting those instances. Thank you for your work.
The “prolific donator “ knew what he was doing and he’s rotten. But the recipients of the donations have some responsibility especially those that operated outside the control of an established bank. They obtained what they wanted for free and were operating outside the system which offers controls over this ( but indeed there has to be a better international system of control ). Fortunately for these kids there is cheap DNA testing available to them to avoid the future inbreeding etc
Ladies should realize that banks are readily available everywhere - and they're called bars lol
Potential donors often are ready in less than 5 minutes. [ref: local hair stylist]
Looks like Jonathan achieved a full understanding of the idea of the pollinator bee on its journey from flower to flower
All pollinator bees are female.
Did you consider the fact that his donations to clinics would be used by women living near those clinics? It seems that this would increase chances of his children coming in contact with others who shared their DNA
"I imagine the construct of finding it hard was a familiar feeling for Jonathan, given the frequency of his donations"
Dr Grande with his gold level deadpan humor gets me EVERY time 😆😭
Most of this problem stems from narcissism… firstly the narcissistic attitude that EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO CHILDREN, secondly, his own narcissism
I'd be worried some of his children inherited that narcissistic trait.
I always thought hair greatness was more likely to come from the mom’s side.
These women aren't necessarily representative of the women who've used artificial insemination. They may be fringe, like the women who've sought out and formed "relationships" with Death Row inmates or other prison inmates.
@@loki2240 lol. Fringe,
I have heard that too.
@@loki2240lmao he only did it 500 to a thousand times with such "fringe" people
@@biglimes - It was that many children - not that many women. And even if it were 1K women, that would pale in comparison to the number of women who have used a sperm donor. I didn't claim that they're fringe - I said that they may be fringe. If you want to argue that they're typical of women who have used a sperm donor, you'll need to do more than point to this man an his 1K children.
When i saw your release of this video, i had to immediately came to see it. I love coming here and watching you!!
he has a lot to release regarding these forthcoming topics. the insight strokes my intellect and helps me shoot this knowledge in the face of my peers.
That shirt. You’re just trolling us now, huh? 😂😂😂😂
The one thing you didnt acknowledge is that even people who want intelligence as a factor in their sperm selection still dont want their kid to be unattractive. Nobody wants a funny looking kid! Attractiveness is a positive feature in life no matter what we'd like to believe. Maybe the fact that he has very bland features, aside from the hair, made them believe that more of their own feature would somehow show through better? Regardless, your dry humor got me once again during your remarks about finding it hard a lot! Hahaha! Thank you @Drgrande
I have noticed over the years that average looking parents tend to have beautiful children, yet gorgeous parents have average to below average looking kids. It's weird.

😹
Wow I would never chose a donor that doesn’t have all his head 😳 who cares about the hair , what the hell , sorry ladies that chose him but damn
Kinda a perfect metaphor. Choosing from what you see on the outside instead of what it's inside is a deep mistake. (hair vs mind)
Anyways it also shows that this way of having children is bad in itself. It's choosing the outside (genetics, body) without caring in the "inside" (a father, a person that will be there to help educate, not just give his DNA sample).
I would have considered it, he's a good looking guy too. However, I have 3 kids with the same dad...they are all very different
It’s amazing how women obsessed over men with long hair
My husband has long beautiful blond hair. But he also has a brain and a sweet personality.
But yeah... I've always liked long hair.
this guy will be a legend with all his descendants. Genghis Khan had to use warfare.., this guy just used his long blonde hair.
Of all the titles for this absurd topic, Netflix was lazy. I would have called it "One Man (donates) Army" or something
