Film Review: Baby God Am I a child of something unspeakable?
HBO s documentary Baby God released late last year is an exposé of a prominent Nevada gynaecologist who over the course of his career is thought to have impregnated hundreds of women with his own sperm. The real kicker? His patients had no idea. Some came to him for fertility treatment, expecting to be inseminated with their husband s sperm, and others came to him for unrelated procedures and were inseminated without their knowledge. The ruse only came to light with the advent of direct-to-consumer genetic testing and his unknowing children s natural curiosity to learn more about their family through online genealogy sites.
