May 27, 2021 – A New Jersey woman says a home DNA kit revealed her doctor is her daughter’s biological father and she is now suing 36 years after the daughter’s birth for “medical rape” and ” Fertility fraud “.
Bianca Voss, 75, says she discovered this when her daughter Roberta, 36, took a 23andMe DNA test to find out more about her family history. According to Voss, the test results included her father’s name, Dr. Martin D. Greenberg of Florida who was the fertility doctor who inseminated Voss in 1983.
“Doctor Greenberg injured Bianca,” her attorney Adam Wolf told the Washington Post. “He thought that he could introduce his own semen into his patient’s body by tricking her and without her consent. Not only is this gross and unethical, but it is a grave violation of Bianca’s physical autonomy. “
The retired doctor is being sued for battery, fraud, willful misrepresentation, negligence, and negligent infliction of emotional stress, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in the southern borough of New York. Voss is seeking a court hearing, an unspecified amount of damages, and Greenberg’s medical records.
“I hate that you know and have to live with that your father and grandfather is a medical rapist,” Voss said at a press conference on Tuesday, according to People.
Greenberg’s attorney Barry A. Postman told the Post that the allegations were “unfounded”.
“My client has been retired for over 15 years, has no medical record, and is unaware of any other document suggesting that he was ever involved in providing medical care to Ms. Voss,” he said.
This is not the first time a fertility doctor has been accused of using their own sperm for fathers of children. A doctor in Indiana, Donald Cline, fathered at least 50 children with his patients. And a Las Vegas doctor, Quincy Fortier, has received at least 26 charges of the same crime. It’s not limited to the United States either. In 2019, a Dutch doctor was found to have fathered 49 children, and in 2011, a Brazilian doctor was accused of fathering many of the 8,000 babies he gave birth through fertilization programs.
