Girl could give birth to sister

Very strange story.

I'm all for it to be honest.
The mother is being kind and giving her daughter the chance to have a baby in the future if she wans to.

At least she's got the chance to use them if she wants and she wouldn't actually be it's biological mother (only in a birthing then nurturing sense).

When I read the thread title, I thought it was going to be a girl who was raped by her father and then decided to give birth to the baby - now that would be worrying.

Just saw this on the BBC news. I don't see it as a problem either ethically or morally. It's not as if she would be procreating with either her father or her brother. I don't see it as any different from a sister donating to a sister.

The only thing that confused me was that I thought frozen eggs had a shelf life of about 5 years and the girl is only 7. Though perhaps that's just a legal stipulation in the UK.

Very interesting though.

definately interesting.

As far as it goes she doesn't have to use the eggs (she can choose to or not) and they may not last that long.

I think the mother has made a kind descision and I agree with Luciemule in that I don't think it is wrong ethically or morally.

That should be homemama - though I agree with Luciemule as well

im sure ive heard this yype of true story before??....its fascinating and yes im all for it too.

yype - type!

I'd do it without hesitation for my DD.

I started another thread, not knowing this one was here.

Very interesting.

as fio asks, have mothers donated eggs to dds in the past?

I think it's lovely. I'd definitly do it, if I had a dd in the same situation.

I'm sure I remember instances of mothers being surrogates for their dds but not sure if I've heard of them donating eggs before.

I don't see why it would be the first occurance though.
