A Dutch man born via sperm donation is speaking out about the harms of vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy, and condemning the Dutch prime minister's use of a surrogate to have a child with his partner.
"What I want to emphasize is that the right to have a child does not exist. But the right to grow up with biological parents does exist."

Samme Kors, the child of a sperm donor, spoke against the practice in a recent interview.
Kors appeared on the "Dit is de Dag" radio program and said growing up without a father in his life was harmful to him.
