Woman in Poland has given birth to another woman's baby


Poland's Health Minister has canceled the in-vitro contract of a fertility clinic in northwestern Poland where a woman was implanted with a wrong egg.
The blunder apparently made at the Pomerania Medical University clinic in Szczecin became evident when the woman gave birth to a baby girl with serious health problems. DNA tests revealed that she was not the biological mother, though her husband is the biological father.

Health Minister Bartosz Arlukowicz said Tuesday he has canceled the contract, has imposed a fine and asked prosecutors to investigate. His action affected only in-vitro fertilization services and not other services provided at the clinic
Gynecologist Stanislaw Radowicki, who headed a control at the clinic, said it was a "technical mistake" that could have resulted from human error.
