Two Quebec men accused of fathering hundreds of kids have been banned from donating sperm in the province while a court case against them unfolds.
Justice Simon Chamberland granted an interlocutory injunction Wednesday against Philippe Normand and his son, Dominik Seelos.
Normand and Seelos have been accused of fathering hundreds of kids through sperm donations in the province and misleading potential parents about the number of children they’ve fathered.
“The number of children conceived through the defendants’ sperm donations far exceeds recommended limits and poses serious risks,” Chamberland wrote in his decision.
“The defendants intend to continue donating sperm during the proceedings. The interlocutory injunction sought must therefore be granted.”
The injunction was brought forward by a woman who is the mother of four children using sperm from Normand and Seelos.
According to her, at the time the agreements leading to the donations were concluded, the defendants made false representations concerning the number of children previously conceived through their sperm donations and undertook to cease donating sperm for third‑party parental projects once certain limits were reached.
Normand allegedly undertook to limit his donations to a maximum of 10 families, except to complete families already begun, and Seelos to a maximum of 25 children, also except to complete families already begun.
