An American woman who was accidentally impregnated with another couple's embryo has handed the baby over to its biological parents.
Carolyn Savage gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at Mercy St Vincent Medical Centre in Toledo, but he wasn't hers. Due to a mix up at the fertility clinic, Mrs Savage had been implanted with an embryo belonging to Shannon and Paul Morell.
Given the choice of terminating the pregnancy or handing the baby over once he was born, she chose to carry the child to term. Mrs Morell, whose maiden name was also Savage, had six embryos frozen after giving birth to twins. But when they were ready to try for a third child they got an urgent call from their fertility doctor, the New York Post reports.
"I'm so sorry, Shannon, but there's been a terrible incident in our lab," he said. "Your embryos have thawed." "Your embryos were transferred to another woman."
