Assignment review could In a series of programs two years ago Reveal that a now deceased fertility doctor in Halmstad repeatedly stole sperm from unknowing men and used to inseminate involuntarily childless women.
Now Assignment Review can reveal an eighth case of spermalft.
When “Amanda” last autumn requested the information about his biological father from Halland Hospital, they handed out the name of a man as the fertility doctor stated as a donor: Mathias Wadsten.
But “Amanda” had already done a DNA test and saw that they could not possibly be related.
– Fortunately, I didn’t have to go through this by contacting my dad I got on paper, she says.
“Amanda’s” biological father instead turned out to be another man who has joined the fertility investigation with his wife at the then County Hospital in Halmstad. The doctor secretly used his sperm sample to inseminate “Amanda’s” mother.
– He has taken a child that we really would have. I still have a hard time digesting this, says the wife of the now deceased man.
Was incorrectly designated
“Amanda” is the second donor child who mistakenly got the sperm donor Mathias Wadsten’s name from the hospital. Mathias has both times been informed about this and began to hope that the children would hear from them, but in vain.
– It’s not okay. It is not good for the child above all. I don’t think they can use my name as some kind of stamp, “Yep there is the father,” says Mathias Wadsten.

Continues to disclose the wrong information
After the scandal was discovered, Halland Hospital has found a list of eight sperm donors left by the fertility doctor. Each time a donor child seeks its origin, the hospital is by law obliged to disclose the name that the doctor has registered as a donor, regardless of the knowledge that it has been completely wrong several times.
Donator Mathias Wadsten did not receive information about the deficiencies in the documentation when the hospital contacted him.
– Unfortunately, this is a regrettable example of another group of people affected by the errors that have been in the business, says Anders Åkvist, chief physician Region Halland.
