Sperm Donor Who is dad to 70 kids and More
A lawyer who donated sperm to pay his way through college has learned that he has fathered an astonishing 70 children.
More than 15 of those have already attempted to contact 33-year-old Ben Seisler.
The donor confessed to his fiancée as part of a new reality show, Sperm Donor, that aired on the Style Network on Tuesday.
Seisler donated sperm for three years while attending law school at George Mason, Virginia. He earned around $150 per donation.
He originally planned to remain anonymous but later joined an online registry called the Donor Sibling Registry that connects offspring and siblings to each other and their donors.
On hearing the news his fiancée said she was 'having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that you have 50,60 or 70 biological offspring.'
She said: 'I guess I didn't realise how many there were.
'I kind of deem that as selfish in a way. Did you think of the consequences that would come of it?'
