A girl may give birth to her sibling

July 3, 2007

Potential for a bizarre family scenario:

A Canadian mother has frozen her eggs for use by her seven-year-old daughter, who is likely to become infertile.

Should the girl opt to use the eggs and gain regulatory approval, she would effectively have a baby that was her half-brother or sister.

Big deal. Any small town in Kentucky will certainly have plenty of these scenarios.

Sorry. Had to go for the easy joke.
