UH: Does this disgusting crime have a name?
Lippert, who died in 1999, is suspected of having substituted his sperm for use in an unknown but potentially large number of cases:
. . . Lippert also worked in the lab, and he kept a collection of baby pictures behind his desk.
“He seemed friendly and was very proud of all those pictures,” Paula said. It almost seemed like a brag board up there. Those were the children that he had helped people have.
The in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic closed in 1998, so there may be some difficulty in identifying other cases where Lippert substituted himself for the intended biological fathers.
