荷蘭曝出捐精醜聞 一男子竟'繁衍'102個孩子

A sperm donor in the Netherlands is the center of a fertility scandal after an investigation showed that he had fathered 102 children by donating at 11 different clinics.

荷蘭一位捐精者近日成爲一起生育醜聞的主角。此前一項調查顯示，他在11家不同的診所捐獻精子，繁衍了102個孩子。

An investigation into the man, who has not been publicly named, was launched after single mothers warned the authorities of a donor who gave his sperm at several clinics.

在幾位單身媽媽向當局舉報一名捐精者在多家診所捐獻精子後，該男子受到了調查，其姓名未被公佈。

Sperm donors are supposed to sign contracts agreeing not to donate at different clinics, though the rule is not often checked or enforced.

捐精者本應簽署協議，同意不在不同診所捐獻精子，雖然這項規定往往不會被覈實，也並非強制執行。

By law, a sperm donor in the Netherlands is only allowed to sire 25 children to limit the chance that conceived children would later end up in a relationship not knowing they are half-siblings.

荷蘭法律規定，一名捐精者只許育有25個孩子，以降低孕育出的子女可能在不知情的情況下最終與同父異母的親人戀愛的機率。

The donor of the 102 children told a Dutch daily that his motive 'was not to have as many children as possible'.

這位擁有102個子女的捐精者向荷蘭一家日報透露，自己的初衷並不是希望“兒女越多越好”。

He said: 'I just like to do it and to make people happy. It makes me feel helpful. The gratitude of doctors and prospective parents is great.'

他說：“我就是喜歡這樣做，喜歡讓人們快樂。這讓我覺得自己很有幫助。醫生和那些想做父母的人都非常感謝我。”

The Dutch association of gynecologists called for a central sperm and egg donor registration "to prevent such situations from happening".

荷蘭婦科醫師協會呼籲建立一個精子和卵子捐獻者登記中心“以避免此類情況發生”。
