Excellent narration. This is very much like a documentary account highlighting the fact that self regulation of a for profit entity allows greed to make the rules and when there also are no real consequences when things go wrong well then, oh well just to bad for you. Add someone with a mental illness to the mix and nobody wins except the greedy guys and gals. This story is about the one man that , most likely due in large part to his mental illness, lied about himself and fathered at least dozens of children via the sperm bank putting all of these children at risk without the mothers knowledge. It makes you wonder how many more paid doners are doing the same ? One thing we now know is these sperm banks won't check and when it happens again they will find a way to blame the mother and unless the government establishes some laws regulating sperm banks they will keep getting away with it without consequences.
