Dr. Arnold Klein donated sperm 'once,' gave Michael Jackson Demerol
Dr. Arnold Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist with a powerful and pampered celebrity clientele, admits he once donated sperm to a sperm bank.
And he also admits he gave Michael Jackson prescriptions for Demerol, although he did not prescribe Diprivan, found in Jackson's home when he died and suspected of causing his death.
Klein said Wednesday that he discovered that Jackson was using Diprivan while on tour in Germany. Klein warned Jackson the drug was dangerous. "I told him he was absolutely insane."
Yeah, because warning a drug addict about using drugs always does a world of good.
You may recall this was the Dangerous Tour, after which Jackson publicly admitted an addiction to prescription painkillers and was hospitalized and even went into rehab.
But wait til you hear what Klein says about his sperm donation and who should get Michael's kids.
When Larry King asked Klein if he was the sperm donor for Michael's children, Klein did not meet his gaze.
When King pressed him on whether he was the biological father of Michael's kids, this exchange occurred:
KING: Now what about all the rumors about you and the fathering of those children?
KLEIN: Here's the most important thing. Michael loved those children as
a father. Those children loved him as a father. As far as I am
concerned, that's the most important grouping that is.
KING: That's not answering the question.
KLEIN: No, because I'm not going to answer it the way you want me to answer it, because...
KING: Well, you can say no.
KLEIN: I can say no then. I will say no if that's what you want to hear.
KING: No, I want to hear what you know.
KLEIN: What I will tell you is I think what's most important about this whole thing, to end this thing, is that the most important
thing in who the father is -- who the children want
their father to be.
Klein also feels his former nurse Debbie Rowe should get the kids because Katherine Jackson is too old and Joe Jackson is out of it.
Yeah, not like a reclusive and disfigured 50-year-old drug addict who needs painkillers to make it through the day and intravenous anesthesia to sleep.
Klein didn't go to the memorial. He says he's an Orthodox Jew and doesn't approve of the body not being buried by now.
But was he even invited?
After all, the Jackson family gave LAPD a list of doctors they were suspicious of. And whaddya know? Klein's name was on the list.
What do you think about this guy? Are you curious?

Is this Doctor slurring his words? If so, why?
The writier of this article would still have the gall to be disrepectful to Michael Jackson?
he was a nice guy
everyone needs to just leave the "who's the real father thing" alone.
MICHAEL is the kids father. always has been. always will be. all everyone is going to do is ruin their image of their Daddy. The man who raised them.
Leave Michael alone. Don't you think the world has torn him apart enough? Let his kids grow up remembering their Daddy as they knew him. Because let's face it. They're some of the very few people who actually KNEW him.
As for the doctor. He needs to be investigated.
Umm...why doesn't he ask this guy is he currently drugged? The guy can't even get a word out without slurrying
"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine...and I just wanted to say I love him so much."
I cried when I listened to this -
Michael Jackson Memorial: Paris Jackson speaks, GoodBye Michael
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzP0HcftrVY
I'm so glad she said this, as painful/difficult as it was for her. It is SO important for her to publicly acknowledge her love for her dad...and he WAS her dad regardless of biology!
I lost my dad at 17 and felt/feel EXACTLY the same as Paris. I would NEVER want to replace my dad for anyone! If ANYONE said he wasn't my dad, I'd adamantly argue that he absolutely was my dad even though his sperm was not used to bring me into this world.
After my dad passed away, my mother remarried and I developed a deep, meaningful relationship with my step-father (he was also my dad) and I would also NEVER want to replace him for anyone. He knew about my 'donor' conception and supported my search for information. It brought us even closer together.
At the same time there really isn't any one who could replace the importance and significance of my biological father (aka, my parent's donor). I would NEVER want to replace any of these men who played significant roles in my life (socially, emotionally, biologically) for another.
Many/most 'donor' conceived feel the same about ANY loved one who played an important, loving, meaningful role in our/their lives -- Another mother/ father, a special uncle/ aunt/ friend/ grandparent/ step parent or whatever we/they chose to call them.
So when studies/survey's show that many 'donor' conceived want to know the identity and have the opportunity to have a relationship with their genetic father/paternal family/half siblings, this in no way conflicts with the significance of their relationships with others. Both social and genetic/biological relationships matter.

I think Klein's teeth were giving him trouble-sounded like the teeth were getting in the way of his pronouncing his words--quite slurry.
Whom ever wrote this article should be ashamed. What is up with, he once donated sperm and gave MJ a prescription" . What does the one he gave sperm have anything with MJ or the prescription. You might as well say, he once ate Mexican food, and he prescribe MJ something. Your next job will no drought be on CNN.
This is a disgrace what's being said about Michael not being the father. PLease stop and think what this is doing to the kids, haven't they been through enough!
