Pretty regularly, they catch fertility doctors performing eugenics based procedures without patient consent. Like with shocking regularity.
Also, it isn’t super uncommon for male fertility doctors to substitute their own semen instead of the correct material that the patient(s) provided.
Evil people go into these jobs because it gives them the power to push their own agenda without much oversight, and by the time someone can make a claim against them, and is believed by anyone else, they can move on.
The first book I read about this was Killing the Black Body, which detailed how slave bodies were handled (physically and by society) and then how that progressed into the eugenics movement that is still alive and well today.
From there it was just noticing it in the news whenever it comes up. Which is why I was hinging my statements on the frequency. I haven’t done any analysis, it just hits the news often enough that I’m disgusted.
