Het Zaad van Karbaat plot

The three-part documentary series The seed of Karbaat tells the incredible story of the late doctor Jan Karbaat, who inseminated his patients with his own sperm in more than 65 cases. The news that Jan Karbaat was using his own seed to inseminate his patients shocked the world. The seed of Karbaat tells how that could happen. In addition, it also shows how Karbaat worked and how he assaulted and sexually intimidated patients. Though this is just the tip of the iceberg; mothers, descendants and those involved have to learn to live with the emotional trauma of a changed genetic lineage. Through Karbaat's story, the series explores the nature vs. nurture debate, the desire for immortality and the moral issues surrounding anonymous donorship.

Very good documentary, devoured all 3 parts.

Now that also had a personal reason for me. My niece is one of the children, also seen in the series. That makes it even more special for me. While it is already a bizarre story in itself of course.

But other than that, I would have found this very interesting anyway. Also very strong. All episodes are very interesting.

Fortunately, my niece's mother has not had any bad experiences with the doctor herself, except for the deception. She was not to be seen, by the way, but I did ask that after seeing the series. That was new to me that he went so far with some women.

Very strange to see all those similarities in those other brothers and sisters. I'll be watching it again soon.

I used to think we both had blond hair because we were genetically related, but she really got that from Korbaat. I knew from high school somewhere that she had a donor father. And a few years ago I heard about what it really was. So no further surprises, although I still looked really surprised.

Very interesting documentary series. Sometimes I think I'm living under a rock, because I never really got this bizarre story in the news. As mentioned, the pace is especially nice. Not as bombastic as many of these other documentaries. All quite respectful and approached from different perspectives. The last episode was interesting but a little less in tune with the rest.

Haha what a story dude.

What a psychos these guys are. A nice subject for such a mini-series documentary.

Much better than another documentary about an unsolved murder or something like that.
