Norfolk, for patients who become infertile after cancer therapy, the remaining frozen sperm is precious. Therefore, 34 patients with cancer in the UK residual stress found sperm discarded simply because of late payment of storage fees.
Storage fees billed by the hospital James Paget Hospital in Norfolk really is not that big, only about Rp 1.7 million for a period of one year. But the rules were too stringent, since only tolerate a delay for 4 months.
The sperm of cancer patients who had also destroyed a written warning given, to immediately pay these fees by the deadline for 4-month delay. Unfortunately, this warning is only sent once and it was assessed violated the code of ethics.
One of the 34 patients came to the hospital to pay a month since belatedly received warning letters. But what can I say, the remaining frozen sperm which originally had been removed two days before, without ever a second warning.
Cases that occurred in 2010 this past resurfaced again after the results of an investigation by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority published in the media. Quoted from Dailymail, Sunday (18/12/2011), assessed hospital made some mistakes.
The first error, the hospital does not provide a warning up to a few times before destroying sperm of patients. The second error, this action causes mental stress in patients who lose the opportunity to have offspring.
The patients who destroyed his sperm is a testicular cancer and leukemia patients who will undergo radiotherapy, the side effects permanent sterility. Before therapy, the remaining sperm can be frozen for 5 years at no charge and only started paying the rent in year 6.
