A major fraud took place against 30 British families who underwent IVF in Northern Cyprus under medical tourism from Britain. It is alleged that the IVF clinic claimed to use the sperm-egg donor of their choice, but DNA tests of the 11 children revealed that they were not the sperm-egg donor chosen by their parents. The babies born through IVF have DNA from people from Turkey and Arab countries, while their parents chose fully screened and healthy donors from West European countries like France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. According to BBC’s investigative report, almost half of the cases of this international scam have come to light from ‘Dogus IVF Centre’ alone. The world’s largest sperm bank ‘Cryos International’ has clarified that it had blacklisted Dogus Clinic in 2016 itself and never supplied sperm there. Despite this, the clinic continued to defraud couples wishing to have children for years by falsely advertising its official affiliation with Cryos. Ignoring personal data – The parents selected the donor based on his medical history, appearance, education and hobbies, so that the child could know his biological origin at the age of 18. The use of fake donors has violated the fundamental human rights of children. According to the British Fertility Society, for this to happen in cases of over 30 children is an organized criminal network, gross negligence and institutional fraud. Northern Cyprus is under Turkish occupation and laws are lax. According to global fertility reports and medical tourism data, 5-8 thousand foreign couples come to Northern Cyprus for IVF treatment every year due to the cheap price, and in the last 10 years, 50,000 to 70,000 foreign nationals have undergone IVF treatment in Northern Cyprus clinics. A large number of these are people from Britain, Germany and France. Rachel’s claim – Suspicion confirmed by DNA test after 13 years. The report mentions the case of a mother named Rachel. Rachel invested around Rs 4.43 lakh in Dogus in 2012. Got IVF done. Rachel chose a donor from Denmark from the Cryos website. It was written in the profile that after 18 years, if the child wishes, he can know the identity of the donor. Rachel says that the clinic repeatedly refused to send medical reports, which increased suspicion. Now DNA test revealed that Jonah is his biological son, but the chosen donor is not his father. Rachel said the sadness is that Jonah may lose the opportunity to contact his donor in the future.
