Prominent Fertility Doctor Dies in Plane Crash Amid Accusations of Fertility Fraud

Dr. Morris Wortman, a gynecologist from New York, died in a plane crash over the weekend along with the pilot of the aircraft.
Wortman was sued in 2021 by a former patient's daughter who claimed he used his own sperm to impregnate her mother without consent in the 1980s.
The experimental plane Wortman was flying in fell apart mid-air, killing both him and the pilot.
Wortman attracted criticism for performing abortions and had been the target of anti-abortion protests.
Investigators are still determining the cause of the crash, which occurred when the wings detached from the fuselage of the hand-built aircraft.
