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.
