Girl could give birth to her sister
A seven-year-old girl could one day give birth to her biological half-brother or half-sister after her mother became the first woman to donate eggs to her infertile daughter.

I'm all for mothers taking care of their children in everyway possible but I don't feel like this is right. Physically wouldn't the child most likely have some mental retardation or other vast health problems, the same as we see in children of incest? The mom has a good heart but I don't think this is healthy in the long run!

I would "assume" that the frozen egg would not have the same father so I do not think there would be any health problems but ethics "could" come into play. It is a very strange twist.

Well that certainly is true...it's hard to comprehend this kind of a situation and the ramifications.

There are people who are willing to donate their eggs, unused embryos, etc. I think when the girl is 7 y/o it should not be an issue at this point. The young child has a whole life ahead of her that needs to be focused on, not her becoming a mother. The mother was jumping the gun a bit. However, as with many things the problems will be as big as folks make it.

No, the girl wasn't having a baby with her mother (for obvious reason) she's just housing her mother's eggs. |
