TOKYO – A Japanese woman was likely impregnated with the fertilized egg of another woman by accident during an in vitro procedure last year, hospital officials said Thursday.
The woman, who is in her 20s, aborted the pregnancy when she was told of the potential mix-up at the government-run hospital in Kagawa prefecture, about 330 miles (530 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo.
She is now suing the local government for 20 million yen ($222,000), according to news reports.
Hospital officials apologized for the mistake at a news conference Thursday.
