Miracle Baby Born in Belgium

A women who recieved an ovarian tissue transplant gave birth to a baby girl yesterday at a hospital in Belgium. This is the first time in history a baby has been born to a woman after recieving this procedure. The woman was diagnosed with cancer when she was 25 and a ovarian tissue was removed from her and frozen before she recieved the cancer treatments that may damage or cause infertility in a woman. Six years after she began treatment for cancer she was declared free of cancer and the transplant took place. Four months after the transplant, her ovarian function was restored and she was able to give birth. This procedure may also helps women to have children after they are passed menopause.
