Very Cool Story - Congrats to the new mom

CBS News | Baby Born After Ovary Transplant | June 8, 2005�08:09:43: " An Alabama woman gave birth this week to a baby girl after undergoing the first known successful ovary transplant in the United States.

Stephanie Yarber, 25, gave birth Monday night to a 7 pound, 15 ounce girl named Anna, said her identical twin sister, Melanie Morgan. It was the sister who donated the ovarian tissue that made Yarber fertile.

'It's a wonderful thing,' Morgan said Tuesday, characterizing the successful procedure as a 'partnership with God, my sister and me.'

Dr. Sherman Silber, an infertility specialist in St. Louis, performed the transplant in April 2004, and Yarber became pregnant only five months later. "
