Jonathan Jacob Meijer, the prolific sperm donor at the center of the new Netflix documentary The Man with 1000 Kids, suggested his many donor children could use a social media symbol to reduce the chance of them unwittingly having incestuous relationships with each other.
According to court documents presented in the series, his lawyers responded: “The defence argues that if they are worried about incest, his donor children can use a social media symbol to identify themselves as one of his children.”
The Netflix docuseries details how Meijer spent many years donating both to sperm banks and to women he met privately.
Meijer also spoke to The Independent about why he feels the series was misleading, and the specific accusations he calls “total slander”.
