Scandal in Northern Cyprus/ At least 30 children suspected of being conceived at

At least 30 children, most of them British, are suspected of being conceived through in vitro fertilization treatments in North Cyprus, using sperm or eggs from the wrong donors.

According to a BBC investigation, the parents of these children suspect that fertility clinics did not use the donors they had selected.

The figure of at least 30 cases is one of the new findings of the investigation, which earlier this year had uncovered seven similar cases.

The parents state that they had carefully selected the anonymous donors, based on data such as their medical history, physical appearance, personality, educational level, and interests.

However, after the birth of the children, they have raised suspicions that the sperm or eggs of the selected donors were not used during the fertilization procedures.

According to the BBC, half of the 30 children identified are suspected to have been born after procedures performed at a single clinic, Dogus IVF Centre.

"It's absolutely outrageous," said one of the mothers, identified as Rachel, who recently learned that the clinic had used sperm from a different donor than the one she had chosen.

The investigation also names three people involved in the care of many of the patients at Dogus: doctors Firdevs Uguz Tip and Sevket Alpturk, as well as patient coordinator Julie Hodson.

The parents suspect that these individuals may have misinformed or deceived them about the procedures and donors used. Firdevs Uguz Tip has denied any wrongdoing, while Alpturk and Hodson did not respond to questions from the BBC.

Meanwhile, the BBC has learned that the world's largest sperm bank, Cryos International, has blacklisted Dogus IVF Centre since 2016.
