The woman gives birth to the mixture of foreigner baby embryos in Australia

A woman in Australia unconsciously gave birth to a baby from a stranger, after her fertility clinic accidentally implanted the embryos of another woman in her.

The mixture to Monash IVF in Brisbane, Queensland was attributed to human error, reports the Australian media.

“On behalf of Monash IVF, I mean how much I’m really sorry for what happened,” said CEO Michael Knaap, adding that everyone at the fertility clinic was “devastated” by error.

Last year, the same clinic paid a regulation of $ 56 million (26.8 million pounds sterling) to hundreds of patients whose embryos were destroyed despite their viable.

According to a spokesperson for monash IVF, the staff learned about the problem in February when biological parents asked to transfer their frozen embryos remaining to another clinic.

Monash confirmed that an embryo of another patient had been wrongly and transferred to the bad person, leading to the birth of a child.

The clinic launched an investigation and Knaap said the clinic was convinced that it was an isolated incident.

Monash said that when the incident was discovered, he activated his crisis management team and in a week, the Brisbane Clinic began to meet patients affected to apologize and offer them support, said the firm.

The company also reported the incident to the regulators concerned, in particular the

Reproductive technology accreditation committee, and also voluntarily reported the incident to the new reproductive technologies assisted by Queensland.

Last year, Monash IVF reached a regulation of $ 56 million (26.8 million pounds sterling) in a collective appeal With 700 former patients to destroy embryos after inaccurate genetic tests.

The case revealed that around 35% of embryos, which were in fact normal and could have caused viable pregnancy, proved abnormal by defective screening.

IVF – or in vitro fertilization – implies the elimination of eggs from a woman’s ovaries, which are then fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. When fertilized eggs become embryos, they are inserted into the woman’s uterus.

It is an expensive process and not successful every time.

In 2021, 20,690 babies were born following IVF in Australia and New Zealand, according to A report from the University of New South Wales.
