Summary
Who’s to blame for Donald Cline’s Secret Children?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) tackles the shocking case of fertility doctor Donald Cline and his decades long practice of deception and fraud with vulnerable and hopeful young parents who came to him for help with artificial insemination. Is this what happens when the emotional toll of infertility combines with the stigma and shame of talking about it? Or was there something more sinister at play? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
