OTTAWA, December 13, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite new federal guidelines designed to curb corruption and mismanagement of donated sperm, Health Canada inspectors found “dozens of cases of shoddy paperwork and an equal number of failures by sperm banks to properly screen donated semen for disease before distributing it to women.” This was reported in internal government documents the public would never have seen if the National Post had not obtained them under the Access to Information Act. Only 10% of sperm banks inspected were found to be operating safely. To read National Post coverage use the search engine at www.nationalpost.com
