A woman who discovered that her biological father is the fertility doctor who helped her mother conceive has filed a lawsuit against him. A leading bioethicist says the case points to the risk of devastation posed by artificial methods of conception.
Like a lot of people, Kelli Rowlette had a DNA sample analyzed through a genealogy website, to learn more about her her family's heritage.
When she received results from the DNA testing, Rowlette discovered something that she was not expecting.
Rowlette discovered that her biological father was actually a fertility doctor who had treated her parents, who apparently used his own sperm to impregnate her mother without her consent, according to a report from NPR.
