Transcripts
what if I were to tell you that there is
a man alive today who may have fathered
over a th000
children and is still
going what kind of man would do
[Music]
that hi thank you for watching any new
video blog making money as a
donor I get this question many times and
I understand that there's a lot of
uh yeah ignorance about the topic of
donors and getting paid now I'm from the
Netherlands and I follow the rules from
the Netherlands and in the Netherlands
they say you are not allowed to ask
money for your service compulsively
donating and that activity really needs
to stop from a legal standpoint you know
there needs to be something done in the
law that makes donors like him stop what
they're doing because they have a
prosecutable fence waiting for them at
the other end of that and unfortunately
these donors don't have any of those um
penalties
to to have to worry about so they just
go crazy donating everywhere um the
industry really needs I think that's
that's so important that there is that
separation in your life of how you think
about your son but also the situation
and that really that you know the world
and the legal system understand the
impact that is harmful this is going to
be be very interesting and I'm going to
do my best to explain this as best as I
can Netflix is going to be dropping a
documentary here in July okay the man
with a thousand kids right I started
looking into this and what I found was
that there is a man who's also on
YouTube spilling a little bit of his
rhetoric who has donated his sperm to
various Banks there is an estimated a
thousand kids out there he's been a
spurn but donor for about 16 years 16
years spurn
donation and there's about a thousand
potentially what they counted as a
thousand kids now you know I really
don't like covering these kinds of
topics but what really got to me while I
was reading this is because there's a
component to a criminal aspect to this
okay criminal in my opinion because it's
deceptive as far as what he's telling
families however he's never been legally
convicted or charged of anything there
was a lawsuit that was filed his name is
Jonathan Jacob Meyer but they call him
the the Dutch serial sperm donor there
is a lot of scammers out there but this
guy takes things to a whole different
level Jonathan Jacob Meyer is a
41-year-old Dutch musician who may have
merely been doing a Kind and Generous
act when he first started donating his
sperm to help hopeful parents
but where does generosity become creepy
and when does the creepy become unlawful
a lawsuit was recently filed against
Meyer who is allegedly a Serial sperm
donor by donor by the donor kind
Foundation a Dutch Organization
advocating for the interests of donor
conceived children their parents and
prospective parents the lawsuit alleged
that Meyer has admitted to bothering
over 550 children through his prolific
sperm donation activities that real
number is likely between 800 to a, the
lawsuit also enters new legal territory
arguing the Mayer caused tangible harm
based on an increased risk of incest and
inbreeding he's a repeated offendor Meer
has hardly been discreet about his
prolific sperm donation numbers back
back in 2017 after several complaints
the Dutch Ministry of Health located at
least 102 of Meyers Offspring as a
result of his donation through multiple
clinics this was despite Meers having an
agreement with each Clinic he was not
donating elsewhere and despite agreeing
that his donations were under the
professional established limits of no
more than 25 children as a result the
Dutch Clinic's black list and Meyer but
despite the Countrywide clinical band
Meyer continues to donate throughout
numerous sperm banks in other countries
as well through private donations
directly to recipients so there are lots
and lots of children out there with half
siblings and I mean we this is one of
those stories where it can get a little
gray right but to me this isn't a
situation where this man is trying to be
helpful although that's what he
proclaims and we're in a watch some of
his videos and y'all let me know your
thoughts in the comments uh there's
still people that believe in caring for
your fellow man you know what the Bible
says helping your
neighbors being like a surface to the
community doing things selflessly
without asking anything for in return I
know that these things sound outdated to
many of these uh
Believers of evolution but yeah still
people do this they still want to do
things for their fellow men there's
still people that believe that uh that's
good to do that is rewarding that you
get a spiritual rewarding here now in
this place because um you get a lot of
uh positive energy from uh the parents
from the children but also in the
afterlife you build up
something so in the afterlife you will
be loved as well and that God will
welcome wel you in his presence so yeah
that is what motivated me it was
something that I felt I was grown up
Christian and I was always thought help
your fellow men help them in when
they're in need and don't act only for
yourself I find it rather egoistic when
people are not helping other people like
selfishly and uh only wanting to do
things in return I of course of I
understand of course you have to work
you get reward for it that's fine
provide a good service to other people
that's fine you get you get paid
but I don't see so many people these
days doing things selflessly or without
for their fellow men that's something
yeah it's rare to see um maybe that's
why they uh because they believe so much
in evolution that everything should be
focused on you your genes they must
survive do anything in your power to
make them survive get the best wife get
the best children make super humans out
of it make your body as strong as
possible because that's that's Evolution
that's what evolution told you to do
that's that's the mindset of these
people they are not here like hey I'm
spiritual being I got uh you know I was
born into into this world thanks to a
miracle I should have others that are
less fortunate as me this is rewarding I
I am happy to spend time with people you
know just without wanting a lot from
them like how I visit my my children and
the parents you know I don't get any
rewards besides something spiritual that
I have a great day that the children
have a great day the parents have a
great day that we're all happy and that
we all build something beautiful inside
of us that's because that's what I
believe so yeah again God complex
egocentric ego boost yeah I think this
is all just like projections of these
people's self that's what they would
think if they would do something like
that they have to do it because for a
reason that can boost their ego that's
what they do in life probably Maybe not
maybe they're great people but most of
the times when you um say to other
people like oh you're doing this for
that reason uh mostly it's a projection
you know you're
projecting your own motivation on people
I do have a problem with the way he's
going about things allegedly he's lied
about his names there are multiple
aliases of his okay um he's not going
about this in the most ethical way
allegedly he's had contact with some of
these children so in some of these um
countries it's okay to know who the
donor is it's public information so from
the children if the children want to
have contact with their donor they're
allowed to do that and he's happy to
donate and he's been donating both
privately and um this is what seems to
be a reputable business for him however
he claims that he is not really making a
lot of money off of this like other than
the typical expenses the compensation of
the uh Clinic uh and Y you guys are
going to hear it from his own words he's
on YouTube spilling a lot of this and
I'm surprised people have not caught on
but the fact the fact that we have
somebody on YouTube with a thousand
children potentially and he doesn't even
own that I'm a little concerned Linda
I'm a little concerned Ava story is one
of the plaintiff in the case going by
the name of Ava describes her decision
to become a single mother at 33 she
opted to find a donor directly because
clinic weight list for sperm donors were
several years long and because ironic
she was concerned with scandals
involving fertility clinics after a
notorious case of a deceptive doctor
using his own sperm and patience further
Ava describes how it was important to
her that her child be able to know who
the donor was and be able to communicate
with them in the future Ava signed up
with the website called One Wish before
long Ava received a message from Jacob
Meyer and I think it's Meyer that's how
you say it or May
um correct me in the chat because it's
spelled m i e j r May Meer I believe
it's Meer but correct me if I'm wrong in
the chat Meyer wrote that his donation
history had resulted in about 10
children in 10 years that he was a fan
of guidelines of more of no more than 20
to 25 children in total and that it was
important to him that all of his
offspring know exactly who he was and
that they did not experience emotional l
after chatting with Meyer and meeting
with him Ava decided that he was the
right fit several donations and home
intimidations later Ava became pregnant
and gave birth to her son in 2018 about
a year later Ava discovered the truth
about Jonathan mayor or Meyer that he
had repeatedly lied to her and was in
fact a prolific Mass donor Ava
confronted mayor by WhatsApp and where
he eventually admitted to LY but said
that the other donors aren't honest
about their numbers either harm of mass
donation the complaint describes many of
the harms caused by mayor's excessive
donation activities including the risk
of inbreeding iness negative
psychosocial implications a complaint
reference of a number of studies
included a growing body of literature
indicating that a large number of
Offspring per donor is harmful the
literature literally indicates that a
responsible limit on sperm donation is
no more than 10 families per donor the
complaint also notes that the risk of
fut to Future Generations remains given
that Meyers descendants May unwittingly
marry their cousins uncles and aunts the
ask the complaint does not ask that
Meyer be punished for his fraudulent
activity spend time in prison or pay
damages for the harm he has caused
instead it demands that Meer be abs
absolutely prohibited from donating to a
new prospective parent and that he
provide a list of clinics he had already
donated to and that he writes to these
clinics with the request that any sword
samples be destroyed it should be noted
that Jonathan Jacob Meyer mayor um is
doesn't have any children of his legal
children of his own right like he he
doesn't have any children that he's
raising um he seems if you look at his
Facebook he track a lot he leads he
likes to eat raw food uh i' you know saw
a little bit of that he feels like what
he's doing is not wrong he feels like
you know he is giving a gift to society
to the people and then to see this as a
side job as a way of income of making
money to me that's not fair
that's really something I uh do not see
as morally correct
now if you ask me what if other donors
ask money or U you know some some extra
money I said it's their problem it's not
mine I am not the moral uh Warrior
justce Warrior I am doing what I do and
personally I do not agree for myself but
if somebody else says well you know I
want to get some compensation for my
services extra than only travel expenses
or other expenses covered well that's
that's there thing I I mean who am I to
judge about that that's uh up to
death as long as they're helping in a
good way correct way I'm uh I'm not
really uh bothered by that but
personally for myself no I didn't make
any
money I can say first of all in the
Netherlands it is not allowed and I also
think that throughout of Europe it's not
allowed I'm not sure what it's outside
of Europe but this is uh where I uh come
from so that's what I
follow you get uh and you are allowed to
ask for a compensation of your costs and
that is okay for me because you know
it's something to do voluntarily I get
it to help people and of course it
shouldn't cost me money now I must say
that uh you know travel expenses you get
covered uh sometimes the people cover
you for
like I do the STD test for them if they
want to have a new refreshed STD test so
they cover these costs and this is like
uh75 for S test and a travel expens
depends on where you come from I had
people living 5 km away from me so they
didn't have to pay travel expenses but
they could also live 200 km away or even
more of course I would ask the travel
expense is reimbursed in the clinics it
works the same you get a compensation
for your travel expenses and like a
little bit extra mostly you get like uh
depends on the clinics in Amsterdam for
example it was like 225 I had to pay
extra for my train ticket to uh to go to
Amsterdam for
example and later I I I said to them
well you know I uh I pay ⏠10 every time
extra to come here uh and then they
increased the travel expenses so they
pay really minimal it's really minimal
what a donor gets other
clinics the the clinics that went that
gave the the biggest compensation you
have to think about 85 for every time
you visit them
and yeah regardless if you come by bike
or if
you came all the way from uh from a town
far away you get 85 EUR so it balances
it out so one Clinic was you know you
had to pay extra the other was giving uh
more than you needed because the train
tickets will be like 50 so and that he's
potentially misunderstood at least
that's what I picked up so my thought
process behind this is and I want to
know what you guys think in the comments
is he being unethical by doing this um
is there a potential based on the
numbers of people that we have in the
world uh which I know I mean can y'all
Google search how many people we have in
the world and let me know on the
comments is he doing something wrong for
society and now that there's about
potentially a thousand children out
there that are half siblings to each
other uh is there a risk of there being
health concerns or problems you know I
know that there all over the world it's
my understanding that the man lives in
Kenya so he's in a different part of the
world um it's my understanding that he
has not been honest in any of these
clinical um donation sperm things that
he gives misinformation so I almost feel
like there there might be a fault there
with the uh clinics as well that you
guys clearly don't have enough tape to
safeguard situations like this and you
haven't because he's been donating for
the last 16 years my understanding is
that his oldest child is 16 and the
youngest one is about three if not two
from the what I've been able to pull up
research while let's keep reading this
article that tells the story of Ava
despite the request of bar mayor from
further donations it does not in include
a limited exception the complaint carves
out from its requests were for Relief a
ban on mayor's donating to parents
already with children or currently
pregnant with children for mayor's
donation and wishing to have additional
children who are fully genetically
related to each other for those who
follow follow the podcast we had an
unknowing recipient of Mayor sperm for
an interview a few years ago her name is
Laura and that was a clip that we played
earlier on this video Laura received a
sperm from a Danish sperm bit assured
her that it that it strictly followed
government's set limits of course mayor
had lied to the sperm bank about his
previous donations and many many
offspring Laura found out after the
birth of her child that her newborn like
had more than 800 half siblings Laura
described mayor's threats that were
echoed in a complaint if a parent
questioned or criticized his prolific
donations or deceptive Behavior mayor
would cut off all Communications with
the parent and their child so even
though he has promoted himself online to
say like you know I'm here for the
children if they want to have contact
with me I'm more of an uncle um of
course I'm not raising them I'm just
making them like that type of deal and
then he also gives this argument about
like how people support abortion but
they you know they don't they want to
take away his rights to donate his sperm
that is helping people like like he
gives this it's a bit of a fallacious
argument right regardless of wherever
you stand on that situation and I really
don't try to get into the weeds of that
because I don't like telling people what
to do what they can't do what they
should believe as far as that goes but
in this specific instance it's
interesting how he makes these arguments
and there there's a lot of fallacy
behind what he said what he feels like
is that he is being restricted uh from
being able to help people but I do kind
of Wonder because he minimizes how much
he's actually receiving in donations um
he doesn't he looks like he is a I guess
you can call him an entrepreneur because
he's all over the I don't think he does
it outside of what we know that he's a
musician we really don't know what else
like what other businesses he has other
than just being a a donor of
sperm baby maker I I guess that's what
you would call it right um I don't I
there's not a whole lot behind him um as
far as what he does and he doesn't have
children of his own so he has no
interest in having his own children he
just wants to give out children like
that right and you
know do what he has to do and he feels
like he's a bit of a Mother Teresa
because of it and people don't see it
that way but again let me know your
thoughts in the comments how you feel
about this despite this Laura and her
wife very much wanted a second child and
felt it better for their second for
their first child that he not be in this
you unusual situation alone if that's
the right word the significance the
American assisted reproductive
technology legal expert Professor Jodi
Madera notes that if this lawsuit is
successful it will be the first time a
Serial donor has been held accountable
for this unorthodox and unethical
donations this sends a message that
donors cannot pursue their personal
donation Desires in ways that contradict
clinics and public policies readers May
wonder why mayor has not already faced
legal consequences for for his deceptive
activities but of course we have seen
comparable situations in the United
States with doctors using their own
sperms to impregnate
their patients and when the truth comes
out facing minimal legal consequences if
the complaint succeeds it will be one
signal that the tide is turning on wh
deceptive donors accountable for their
misconduct I am going to link the
article the article um from above the
law in the description box and this is a
um they run a podcast where um they talk
a lot about reproductive stuff for
anybody that might be interested in
those topics it'll all be
in the description box now you might be
wondering how serious this situation was
for for the Netherlands this is donor
kind and they put up a statement back in
2023 about all of this they said a
mother and the donor child Foundation
have initiated a summary proceeding to
ban a sperm donor who has at least 550
children from fathering any more donor
children and according to the lawyer of
donor kind his behavior is dangerous for
the mental well-being and health of
donor children by giving preference of
his reproductive urge the donor acts
unlawfully in addition he violates the
agreements with the clinics and with the
intended parents because they relied on
his promise that he would father a
maximum of 25 children now while Netflix
did this documentary and it's dropping
next month the court did reach a
conclusion over what they think about
Jonathan mayor father of up to 600
children banned from donating sperm by
Dutch Court a Dutch court on Friday and
of course this this article's um April
of last year keep that in mind on Friday
ordered a man who judge said had
fathered between 500 to 600 children
around the world to stop donating sperm
has that stopped him from donating I
don't think so cuz he's talking about it
in his YouTube channel but at least in
this area he's not able to donate
41-year-old Dutch man identified by the
Telegraph newspaper as Jonathan major or
mayor was forbidden from donating more
semen to clinics the Court ruling said
he could be F
âŹ100,000 EUR per for in per infraction
the court ordered Mr Mayor to write to
the clinics overseas asking them to
destroy any of his seen they have't
stocked except doses reserved for
parents who already had children by him
the decision came after a civil court a
civil case started by a foundation
representing the interests of donor's
children and Dutch parents who had used
Mr Mayor as a
donor they argued that major donations
violated the rights to a private life of
his donor children whose ability to form
romantic relationships are hampered by
fears of accidental incest and
inbreeding he did a video about that
watch this think about arguments of the
chances of higher in breeding amongst
donor children that have a large Sibling
Group that are from a large Sibling
Group well first it's good to understand
there's three ways that you can become a
donor the first is being completely
anonym Anonymous donors in the past it
was normal that donors were completely
uh Anonymous and they would state that
children would never know who their
donor father was and in some countries
it this is still the case like in
Belgium for example but for example in
Netherlands we choose to change that so
we
the anonymity and from now on we go to
the second donor and that's the known
donor means that the donor has to show
his identity at certain age in the nland
is this for example 16 years a child a
donor child can uh know who his um donor
father is at the age of 16 and they can
get some basic information and they even
can get to meet him they can get a
chance to meet him and this is mostly
done in clinics so if you become a donor
you go to a clinic this is the way it is
going to be you accept that at uh after
16 years yeah you will be uh contacted
you could be contacted of course if the
children want that the the second uh
form and that's also how
I participated in for in the clinics I I
participated in the clinics and this
makes me a known donor so a smaller part
of the children are able to know my
identity when they're 16 but due to the
current circumstances and uh due to the
development situation around me they are
already in contact with me because they
found out that yeah the that's I'm their
donor father and U there some mothers
they they found out they they they make
the link like oh he's a donor he's blond
girly hair he's from this age he's
working as a teacher or was working as a
teacher so they found me and uh now I'm
already in contact with them now the
last form the third form in uh which you
can be the donor is the known donor plus
this means that the donor is known from
the very first moment that he's a
private donor he contacts with people
directly uh there's no Clinic between
them and uh he mostly contacts with them
by internet fertility groups and he
donates directly to the to the
recipients to the
parents and the known owner plus is most
of the times also directly involved in
the life of the children so the parents
for example have a picture of me the
parents they uh will tell about me uh
they will meet up with me most of the
times I also have contact with the
children and that is a known donor plus
so he is visible the children also know
my name most of the times completely
visible so if you then ask me well what
do you think about um inbreeding
argument that uh children if there's
from a huge group like 550 children well
what do you think about this inbreeding
danger well in my case which is
completely zero let me explain first of
all the children live worldwide so they
spread out over like maybe 20 or 30
different countries maybe
more then secondly of course 50% are
feminine and the other 50% are masculine
so 50% boys 50% girls and this means
that if you assume that they're all
heterosexual or general there are
majority heterosexual it already leaves
like half of them like out of uh yeah
out of the picture you have then about
250 or 70 children left over that are in
a like a
risk then you have to uh understand that
lots of these children are siblings I
help create families with two three even
four and five children so that means
that the amount will becomes smaller
that you are possible going to come
across and fall in love with have a
relation with and then have children
with but the final thing is say that
like of these because when we go back to
this 250 and then siblings in one family
let's say roughly 125 different uh
possibilities let's say one of the
children runs into another child without
knowing that they're uh half siblings so
come with me again for the chances of
inbreeding first of all the children
live worldwide they're spread out over
Europe they're spread out over the whole
world so the chances the distance
create a barrier for them to read up
then we have to take in account that uh
50% is masculine 50% is feminine so
assuming that the 98% is heterosexual
the chance that will meet up is also 50%
so you 550 like 225 then children are in
uh they have siblings in one family so
that also creates smaller portion let's
say then go back to also divided by two
125 children finally what is important
is to understand that there's the age
Gap the oldest child is now 15 and the
youngest child is still a baby if you
think seriously that uh the youngest
child is going to be Ro romantically
looking in the C in the age gory of the
15y old later let's say um they're 18 or
20 um you think that a 20-year-old is uh
like that they're all looking in the age
gap of 30 or 35 most of the times most
people they look somebody two three four
years of age difference personally I am
more the type that uh is is is looking
for younger girls like uh in their 20s
but I'm an exception Mr mayor's Mass
donation first came to light in 2017 and
he was banned from donating to the Dutch
fertility clinics where he had already
fathered over a 100 children however he
continued to donate in other countries
including to the Danish sperm bank in
cryos which operates internationally and
it does Mr Mayor orer also continues to
offer himself as a donor on site
matching prospective parents with sperm
donors Sometimes using different name
according to the Daily newspapers as
much as I respect everybody's choices
and everything I don't think that
Jonathan has gone about this in the most
ethical way right he wants to bring out
morality all this other arguments that
he can to make an argument as to why he
should continue donating but he's also
lying and misinforming the public about
how many children he actually has out
there um through his donations and that
my friends is a concern for everybody
right let me know your thoughts in the
comments where do you stand are you
going to be watching this netlix series
cuz I definitely want to watch and I'm
very much curious to know what happens
with this situation I'll see you guys on
the next one WRA it out bye guys
