Leveys had two conditions: the donor must have a clean medical history and Northern European ancestry matching that of the Levey family.

However, he thought it implausible that Wortman would knowingly treat his biological daughter as a gynecological patient for nearly a decade.The lawsuit states.

But a month later, that was confirmed by a DNA test.He said in the lawsuit. One of his brothers had been in contact with one of Wartman’s well-known daughters, and testing concluded there was a 99.99% chance that they were siblings.
