Commissioned examination can use dna genealogy to show five inseminations that did not go right at Halmstad hospital between the years 1985 and 1996. Bengt submitted a sperm sample when he and his wife had difficulty having children.

31 years later, the news that he has an unknown daughter, Rebecka, hits like a bomb. 

- What is happening in my life?

I am the father of a child who was born eight months before my daughter, says Bengt in Uppdrag gränskning's "Sperm theft". 

See the report:

Sperm theft

Last fall, Uppdrag gränskning was able to tell about two cases of donor children who arrived at the hospital in Halmstad with the help of sperm that had never been donated.

Emelie Persson had tried in vain to get the name of her donor.

With the help of DNA tests and DNA genealogist Fredrik Mejster, it was revealed that Zdravko Paic was her biological father.

Zdravko, like Bengt, had never been a donor, but provided sperm samples.

Three siblings – three involuntary donors

Mission review can now show that the same doctor in Halmstad, who is now deceased, appears to have systematically taken sperm from unwitting men.

Rebecka Kristoffersson, biological daughter of Bengt, and her two siblings Alexandra Phil and Tobias Andersson have recently found out that, just like Emelie Persson, they came to be on false premises. 



- My biggest hope was that it would be someone who had donated voluntarily in any case, says Alexandra Phil, sister of Rebecka Kristoffersson. 

According to the hospital in Halmstad, there are approximately 35 donor children who were born during the period 1985–1996.

But the doctor in question has stated in older newspaper articles that he dealt with inseminations in the past and that it resulted in around 15 donor children.

In total, there must therefore be at least 50 children where the doctor has been involved. 

 - It's a hell of a mess.

I think it's a shame that he is no longer alive and can be held accountable for what he has done, says Rebecka Kristoffersson.

The hospital is not investigating

The hospital cannot answer whether sperm was used illegally on more occasions than the five cases reviewed.

They also see no possibility of investigating the matter more closely. 

 - It is clear that it is sad to know that something has gone wrong and that this business has not been at its best when it was run, says Christian Lidén (C), chairman of the operating committee of Halland's hospital. 

According to the law on insemination, the responsible doctor must record the sperm donor in a special record that must be kept for at least 70 years.

However, in all reviewed cases, the donor children who exercised the right to find out their origin received incorrect or no information from the hospital.

In one case, the donor child managed to contact the wrong person before the truth came out.

But Halmstad Hospital will continue to release information about the donors to donor children who get in touch. 

 - We have an obligation according to law to release information that is registered.

So there is nothing we can do other than hand out the information that is available, says Christian Lidén (C). 



Bengt thinks that the hospital should take greater responsibility for what has now been revealed. 



- Who is responsible for the hospital?

It's clear as hell they're bound to somehow.

You can't do that to people.
