Dr. Donald Cline: Conceived in Deceit, the Infamous Fertility Scandal

In this episode of the Compendium, Adam tells Kyle all about the fascinating yet slightly scandalous world of Dr. Donald Cline. Trust us, this isn’t your everyday story of a fertility doctor; it’s a riveting tale of hidden family secrets, artificial insemination ethics, and a sperm donor scandal that left everyone speechless.

And it all started when Jacoba a ordinary young woman, keen to understand more about her geneology stumbles upon a secret that had been hidden her DNA her entire life. A secret that only snowballed as she dared to venture deeper into.

Today we wade through the murky waters of fertility fraud with a touch of humor, because sometimes life’s complexities need a bit of light-heartedness.
