Grandma gives birth to Grandchild!!
10/16/2006 @ 4:00 pm
For the first time in Japan, and the fourth time worldwide, a woman gives birth to her grandchild after having implanted her daughter’s egg, fertilized with the sperms of the daughter’s husband.
The family resorted to surrogate birth after the daughter had a surgery to remove her womb following her marriage. The mother, who is in her 50s, suggested bearing her grandchild as a surrogate mother, and so they proceeded in 2004. She gave birth to the child in spring last year in Suwa Maternity Clinic in Shimosuwamachi, Nagano Prefecture.

October 17th, 2006 at 1:08 amthe article says exactly “Netsu said the daughter had surgery to remove her womb after getting married”! I have changed the sentence just in case!!
