This is Maja, named after the Roman fertility Goddess,
the first baby to be conceived after an ovarian transplant. Susanne Butscher, a 39 year old woman who went into early menopause, received an ovary from her twin sister and conceived a year later. What a great day for science , offering hope to woman who are infertile or have lost their fertility to chemotherapy. This pioneering procedure could offer hope to women under going chemo or radiation and offer the possibility of freezing the an ovary for transplant after treatment. "When I saw her for the first time I just cried" said Mrs. Butscher. "You can't really put into words that feeling when you see your daughter for the first time." Mr. Butscher, 40 said: "I don't think anyone has invented the right words to describe what if feels like to become a father."
I Say Amen To That.
