A Canadian medical regulator has formally revoked the licence of a retired fertility doctor who used his own sperm to inseminate patients.
加拿大一家醫療監管機構正式吊銷了一名退休生育醫生的執照。這名醫生使用自己的精子為病人授精。
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario called Norman Barwin"s actions "beyond reprehensible".
安大略省內外科醫學院稱諾曼·巴溫的行為「應受譴責」。
The regulator launched an investigation into allegations against him in 2016.

The claims against the physician date as far back as the 1970s and include patients from at least two fertility clinics in Ontario.

Speaking for the regulatory body"s disciplinary panel in Toronto on Tuesday, Dr Steven Bodley said it was "unfortunate" the only sanction they had the power to impose was to revoke Dr Barwin"s licence and issue a scathing public reprimand and a fine.
周二，史蒂文?鮑德利博士在多倫多代表該監管機構的紀律小組發言時表示，「不幸的是」，他們有權實施的唯一製裁是吊銷巴溫醫生的執照，並對其進行嚴厲的公開譴責和罰款。
"You betrayed [the trust of your patients] and by your actions deeply affected individuals and their families and caused irreparable damage that will span generations," he said.
他說：「你辜負了病人的信任，你的行為深深影響了個人和他們的家庭，造成了將跨越幾代人的無法彌補的損害。」

現年80歲的巴溫醫生沒有出現在紀律小組面前，而是由一名律師代表。自2014年以來，他就沒有再執業過。

巴溫醫生曾在2013年因用錯誤的精子人工授精三名患者而受到學院的懲罰，並被短暫停職。
