Israeli patient: We'll sue Romania for damages

     Israeli woman accuses Romanian police of brutal treatment during raid on Bucharest fertility clinic, says investigators stole money, valuables from Israeli detainees before releasing them, Ynet reported. Israeli consul general: We're handling case. Romanian doctors' association slam Israeli colleagues, saying they are comparable to doctors at Auschwitz . Meanwhile, the Romanian doctors' association is accusing the Israeli doctors involved in the human egg trafficking affair of endangering dozens of Romanian women in order to harvest and sell their eggs, according to a report Tuesday in the Romanian daily newspaper Evenimentul Zilei. Head of the doctors' association, Colegiul Medicilor, Dr. Vasile Astarastoae made grave accusations against his Israeli colleagues and those running the Sabyc clinic where the allegedly illegal embryo implantations took place. Head of the National Agency for Transplants Dr. Victor Zota said to the newspaper that he authorized the clinic, mentioning that the go ahead for performing implantations was issued only last week. According to him, he was unaware of any illegal activities taking place at the Sabyc clinic. "Nothing aroused suspicion that they were harvesting eggs and paying for them. I believe that 15 to 20 women were gathered in the middle of the night, when they performed the procedures. They apparently called families from abroad for fertility treatments. It was a real industry," he said. Legal authorities in Romania claim they have been investigating the case for about three months following a complaint issued by a young couple. Police investigators said to the newspaper, "Three Romanian doctors are being implicated in the affair, and hundreds of women will also be indicted for selling their own eggs.""The doctors from this clinic are comparable to doctors from Auschwitz," said Astarastoae. "They used misfortunate people, sold their organs for money, and showed complete contempt for humanity. Why didn't they have the courage to do this in Israel?" The newspaper reported that investigators claim the clinic's doctors swindled their clients, most of whom are Israeli and German. According to them, the clients sought "blond intelligent" twins, and instead were implanted with eggs taken from poor young girls, most of then Gypsies, in exchange for money. (21,30)
