In Dec. 2023, Sarah Depoian brought a lawsuit against Dr. Merle Berger, a fertility doctor she accuses of secretly inseminating her with his sperm, leading to the birth of her daughter, Carolyn Bester. <\/p>\n

According to the suit, Bester, born in 1981, took a commercially available genealogical DNA test, indicating Berger was her father. Bester’s mother, Depoian, says Dr. Berger told her the sperm used in the treatment was from a medical resident. Dr. Berger’s legal team has denied the allegations, according to CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n
