L.A. fertility doctor sued over artificially inseminating woman with wrong sperm
LA TimesAn electron microscope is used to fertilize an egg cell in Berlin. A Los Angeles fertility doctor with decades of experience helping couples conceive was sued Thursday for allegedly inseminating a woman in 1986 with the sperm of a man who was not her husband, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Dr. Hal Danzer — who until recently was on the faculty of UCLA and is a co-founder of the Southern California Reproductive Center — ran the Los Angeles Fertility Institute in the 1980s when the “young, happy couple dreaming of building a family together” approached him, according to the suit. Danzer currently works at the Southern California Reproductive Center and recently served on UCLA’s Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellowship Program.. “As the grandson of a midwife and the son of a hospital administrator, Dr. Danzer’s family has a long history of nurturing women’s health and fertility,” his biography says on the Southern California Reproductive Center website.
