A shocking investigation by Region Norrbotten has revealed that a doctor in the region used his own sperm to inseminate women seeking fertility treatment during the 1970s and 80s.

This unethical practice, though not illegal at the time, has led to the birth of at least seven known children.

The exact number of inseminations remains unknown, as records and interviews have failed to provide clarity.

The revelation has caused significant distress among the affected individuals, many of whom are experiencing identity crises.

Concerns have also been raised about the potential for unknowingly forming relationships with half-siblings.

Region Norrbotten plans to file a complaint with the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) to address the doctor's misconduct, despite his advanced age and long-retired status.

This case is part of a broader investigation into historical fertility practices in Sweden, which includes allegations of sperm theft in other regions.
