I don’t understand - how is it not already illegal for a doctor to knowingly replace a donor’s sperm with their own sperm?
Because we don’t have laws to cover every conceivable thing someone could do (no pun intended). Until relatively recently, there was no way to even know this was happening.
It is illegal. Just off the top of my head fraud definitely probably an argument for battery or some form of sexual assault in most if not all jurisdictions.
I don’t remember the exact name of the episode, but there’s an episode of the Podcast Behind the Bastards that goes into this - specifically about one dude who did this sort of thing to a crazy degree. I think it was tilted something like “All fertility doctors are bastards”, which the host admitted was quite hyperbolic but that he felt it was somewhat true due to the lack of regulation in the industry.
Edit: I think the episode was specifically about the guy this article is about.
The episodes about one doctor, but as they pointed out it happens a lot. Like shockingly often. Multiple doctors have done this.

This happened forty years ago, before DNA testing. I assume DNA screening would be a routine part of the artificial insemination procedure today?
You’d think so, but doctors keep getting caught using their own sperm after the families do their own testing.
Dr. Burton Caldwell is a modern day Genghis Khan
The better question is : did she enjoy the night with the half sibling?
