The Man With 1000 Kids July 2024

This documentary was "different". First, it's a short watch on Netflix, three limited series episodes, about forty minutes each.

My initial thoughts were, wow, so many people go to sperm banks to create babies; I had no idea.

Then after listening to more stories, many of them same sex couples, one guy who had a vasectomy and remarried a younger women, makes sense.

This documentary covers a man who donated his sperm to more than one donation center at a time in various locations, resulting in his creation of hundreds of children. The problem is, this guy who was donating was only saying he had previously donated to no more then about three or four other families and his information was false.

When the families found out the truth about his actual baby count, it infuriated the families based on the deception and how they would have to explain to their children that they have many siblings who they may be romantically inclined to later on in life.

According to the documentary, many of the families got together and took him to court, resulting in the judge in The Netherlands ultimately deciding that if Jonathan decides to donate any day after that anywhere in the world there would be 100,000 euros fined per donation.

At the ends the documentary, many of the families decided to meet up and have their children play together in the Netherlands, realizing and observing the many resemblances, even same personality treaties, resulting in a “bitter-sweet” moment.
