The Hague, Netherlands – A gynecologist working on an artificial insemination program at a Dutch hospital used the sperm of at least 17 children without informing the parents, the hospital said on Tuesday.
Gynecologist Jan Wildschut, who died, worked at Sophia Hospital, also known as Isla Hospital, in the eastern city of Zwolle between 1981 and 1993.
“From an ethical point of view, Isala is unacceptable that the gynecologist-reproductive doctor was both a practitioner and a sperm donor,” the hospital said in a statement.
