FERTILITY CLINIC DOCTOR USED OWN SPERM TO FATHER 11 KIDS, LAWSUIT CLAIMS
加拿大不良医生专治不孕 用自己精液让11名女性怀孕
A doctor in Canada is accused of using his sperm to father at least 11 children in what has been described by families involved as a serious breach of trust.
据美国《新闻周刊》网站4月11日的消息：加拿大一名医生涉嫌利用自己的精子为患者授精而成为11 名试管婴儿的生父。涉案家庭对这名医生予以指控，并声称这是一种严重的背信行为。
诺尔曼•巴温
A class action lawsuit first launched in 2016 states that Norman Barwin used his sperm without the knowledge of families undergoing fertility treatment.
2016年，涉案家庭发起了一场集体诉讼。控告称，医生诺尔曼•巴温在病患家庭不知情的情况下，使用自己的精子为不孕患者人工受孕。
丽贝卡•狄克逊
One of the original plaintiffs, Rebecca Dixon, whose parents had gone to the Ottawa clinic in 1989, found that she had no biological connection with her father.
丽贝卡•狄克逊（Rebecca Dixon）是原始原告之一，她父母因不孕不育曾于1989年来到渥太华这家诊所接受治疗，而后却发现自己同父亲毫无血缘关系。
丽贝卡•狄克逊的“亲生父母”
Dixon told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: "As I've realized the extent of what Barwin has done and the number of people he has affected in so many different ways, it certainly made me feel even more strongly that we're doing the right thing."
狄克逊对加拿大广播公司表示：“在我意识到巴温医生作恶的严重性和多数受害者在很多方面受到影响时，这确实让我更加深切地感到，我们是在做正确的事情。”
Lawyers later heard from 150 other people who also had concerns about the doctor’s conduct, dating back to the 1970s.
后来，另有150位人士向律师们表达了对巴温医生这种行径的种种担忧。巴温的作案时间最早可以追溯到20世纪70年代。
Lawyer Peter Cronyn told the Ottawa Citizen: “My heart goes out to all of them. Many have demonstrated tremendous courage and are trying their best. It has been very hard.”
彼得•克隆尼律师向《渥太华公民报》表示：“我很同情他们。他们许多人表现出了极大的勇气，尽了最大的努力。出了这种事已经就让人很难过了。”
A statement on April 5 from Ottawa law firm, Nelligan O'Brien Payne, which is filing the suit, said that Barwin was supposed to use the sperm from the male of each couple in some cases and in others, an anonymous sperm donor.
渥太华Nelligan O'Brien Payne律师事务所对诺尔曼•巴温提起了诉讼。该律师事务所4月5日发布声明称，巴温医生在某些情况下应当使用女患者丈夫的精子或匿名捐赠者的精子。
"Instead, it turns out that Dr. Barwin himself is the biological father," the statement added.
声明补充说：“但现在，巴温医生自己却成了这些试管婴儿的生父。”
The lawsuit will also include the names of 51 people whose DNA was not linked to those they thought were their fathers or an intended anonymous donor.
本案还涉及到其他51人。这些受害人的DNA同他们自以为是的“生父”或预定的捐精者并不匹配。
Barwin’s lawyers have declined to comment. Barwin is a high profile doctor and was awarded the Order of Canada in 1997. He gave up the award in 2013 after he admitted artificially inseminating four women with the wrong sperm.
巴温的律师拒绝对此事做出任何评论。案发前，巴温是一位享有很高声望的医生，1997年荣获加拿大勋章。2013年，他在承认使用错误的精子致使4位女性人工受孕后，放弃了领奖。
He was first sued in 1995 for using the wrong sperm sample and faced other legal action in 2009 and 2010.
1995年，巴温因涉嫌使用错误的精子样本而遭起诉。在2009年和2010年，他还面临其它诉讼。（译：王真之）
