A healthy baby girl has been born in London following the world's first transplant of an entire ovary, it has been reported.

The 39-year-old mother conceived naturally after receiving the ovary from her twin sister.

Others have given birth after receiving smaller pieces of ovarian tissue.

A UK specialist said the procedure should be used to preserve fertility before cancer treatment, rather than to try to extend it.

The baby, weighing 7lbs 15 oz (3.6kg), was born to a German-born woman married to a Briton, who became infertile at 15 when her own ovaries failed.

Oh the science.
