“The donor deliberately misinformed prospective parents about the number of children he had already fathered in the past,” the district court in The Hague said.

“All these parents are now confronted with the fact that the children in their family are part of a huge kinship network, with hundreds of half-siblings, which they did not choose,” it said.

The court considered it “sufficiently plausible” that this has or could have negative psychosocial consequences for the children.

This included psychological problems around identity and fears of incest.

[...]

“The interests of the children weigh too heavily and that is why it is forbidden for the gentleman to give further semen.”

Idk, that sounds kind of dumb. Sounds like an "I consent. I consent. I don't." type of dynamic. But I can hear the black pill seething at this situation like the Eye of Sauron gazing into my soul looking for imperfections.

The fear of incest make sense to me. Like the kids being worried.

First quote says that he's been lying to parents about it so it's not really consent if it's built on lies.

I don’t understand the problem of “identity.” Like are they afraid the children will become depressed knowing they were the result of some Epstein-Muskian agenda or is it just standard depression about “real parents”?
