An online sperm donor who did not reveal he had a genetic condition that affects IQ before fathering 15 children says that he has done a “good thing” and not behaved dishonestly.
James MacDougall, 37, advertised on a social media page for lesbian women seeking sperm donors despite knowing he had Fragile X syndrome which leads to low IQ and developmental delay.
He went on to father 15 children and then despite signing an agreement that he did not want any contact with some of his children, MacDougall applied to the Family Court for parental responsibility and child arrangements orders.
