Woman claims biological dad committed 'fertility fraud' to get her mum pregnant

A woman who claims her real dad is a doctor who allegedly mixed his own semen with a donor's is calling for a ban on 'fertility fraud'.

Eve Wiley, from Texas, USA, claims she made the shocking discovery after carrying out a DNA test.

Since then the 31-year-old has met other people who have say their biological fathers are 'doctor daddies'.

So-called 'fertility fraud' is not currently illegal in Texas, but there is a campaign to make it a crime.

Eve is fighting to get a bill passed that would make unauthorized implantation of “human reproductive material” a felony that could see doctors jailed for up to two years.

Woman spends 14 years getting to know sperm donor dad - then discovers horrifying truth 

"I just want to know why," she told ABC’s 20/20 programme. “I don’t love this.

"This sucks. When I tell people my story, their jaws hit the floor."

Speaking about her mum's fertility doctor, she said: "He was kind of a hero for my parents.

"He gave them the one thing that they wanted — and it was a child."

Eve's parents had failed to conceive five times before the doctor allegedly mixed his own semen with the sperm of donor Steve Scholl.

Her mother Margo Williams said she hadn't given the doctor permission, according to US media reports.

Ms Wiley met Mr Scholl 14 years ago and believed he was her real father, even going as far as inviting him on holidays and to her wedding.
