Background information and notes

  • This episode is based on the Dr. Cecil Jacobson case. Jacobson operated a fertility clinic in Virginia, and in March of 1992 was sentenced to five years in prison after it was learned that he inseminated seventy-five of his female patients with his own sperm. Jacobson had led the women to believe they were being inseminated with the sperm of anonymous donors who shared many physical characteristics with their own husbands. He also led many of his patients to believe they had become pregnant and miscarried when in fact they had never actually been pregnant. (Source: Cecil Jacobson at Wikipedia)
