荷蘭捐精丑聞：一男子在多家診所捐精 “繁衍”102個孩子
近日荷蘭幾名單身母親一同向當局舉報，有一名男子在多個地方捐精。經調查，該男子竟在11家不同診所捐精，是102名兒童的生物學父親。據荷蘭法律，捐精者一生最多只能有25個孩子，這是為了降低他們孕育出的子女在不知情的情況下近親戀愛的幾率。
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.
荷蘭一位捐精者成為一起生育丑聞的主角，經調查，他在11家不同的診所捐獻了精子，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.
該男子遭到調查是因為幾位單身媽媽向當局舉報一名捐精者在多所診所捐獻精子。他的身份尚未被公開。
Sperm donors are supposed to sign contracts agreeing not to donate at different clinics, though the rule is not often checked or enforced.
捐精者應當簽署協議，同意不在其他診所捐獻精子，不過這項規定往往不會被核實，也并非強制。
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.
據荷蘭法律，捐精者一生最多只能有25個孩子，以降低他們孕育出的子女在不知情的情況下與同父異母的親人戀愛的幾率。
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個子女的捐精者告訴荷蘭一家日報，自己的初衷并不是希望“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 man said: 'Clinics are already happy if they have a donor who passes the screening.' He said that his sperm was 'often immediately used'.
男子表示：“如果捐精者能夠通過篩選，診所就已經很高興了。”他還稱自己的精子“通常會被立刻使用”。
Another man was also caught having donated his sperm to multiple clinics, but he had fathered only two children.
另一名男子也被發現將精子捐獻給多個診所，但他只繁衍了兩個孩子。
The Dutch association of gynaecologists (NVOG) called sperm clinics to immediately stop using the sperm of the two men.
荷蘭婦產科醫師協會（NVOG）要求精子診所立即停止使用這兩名男子的精子。
It pleaded for a central sperm and egg donor registration 'to prevent such situations from happening'.
該協會要求建立一個精子、卵子捐獻者登記中心，“以免此類情況發生”。
Both men even offered their sperm outside of clinics on the internet and through personal contacts as well.
這兩名男子甚至在診所之外通過互聯網以及私下接觸提供精子。
The health care inspectorate has launched an official investigation into the matter.
荷蘭醫療衛生監督機構已經對這一事件展開正式調查。
Earlier this year, another scandal broke out around the head of a fertility clinic, with a DNA test proving that a sperm doctor illegally used his own sperm to father at least 19 children with unsuspecting women.
今年早些時候，生育診所爆出另一則丑聞，DNA測試證明一名精子醫生非法使用自己的精子讓不知情的女性孕育了19個他的孩子。
