This documentary is a sad tale of a doctor artificially inseminating his patients with his own sperm, while fathering over 60 children. It is a frustrating tale of a man who took advantage of his position for reasons I think most cannot understand. It is particularly frustrating because of the lack of laws by which to put him where he belongs-in prison. As a Christian, it is particularly frustrating to see him hide behind some sort of foolish idea he tries to base on the Bible. The accusations however, get rather ridiculous especially when there are accusations of racism and even the accusations of Nazi like Aryan ideas. As if being white and going to a white doctor with white sperm donors would produce a child of color? Or as though he, like Hitler and Himmler was trying to populate the world with his idea of the perfect child according to his ideas? That's a little ridiculous. He was a sick, selfish, man who beat the system due to a lack of experience with a case such as this. Some kind of weird pervert trying to justify his actions. The laws just weren't in place. The result is sad. Such a wicked person should have spent his remaining time in prison. My heart goes out to these people. Especially the men who thought they had actually fathered a child only to find out differently years later. However, some of the accusations made are ridiculous at best. It really detracts from the documentary itself. Sadly, between the unrealistic expectations of the victims over the charges(you can't trump up charges over laws that don't exist, or for that matter, twist a law or definition of a crime to fit your opinion), and the crazy allegations made over the reason for it, just go back to what you read in the press. I wouldn't rewatch this. It was difficult enough to finish the first time.
