[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A DNA test is one way.

And it used to be a bit more accepted practice.  One woman who this happened to (her father was not her dad, the doctor was) wrote a memoir about it:

Doc wasn't her dad. It was a donor. [/quote]

She was raised with a father she was not related to.  Her bio dad was the fertility doctor (or grad student?).  [b]This was done with her parents consent though. [/b] It was a mixing of the sperm samples and used to be done regularly.  [/quote]

NP.  Dani's bio dad was a medical student sperm donor, not the fertility doctor treating her mother.  I think that's an important distinction.

I don't think Dani's parents really consented, it was more of a "you go to this doctor and he'll make sure you get pregnant."  Just because mixing was a somewhat common practice, the book makes it pretty clear that the parents didn't necessarily grasp this was how the "treatment" was being done.[/quote]
