New Delhi, April 12 -- In a rare and deeply distressing incident, a woman in Brisbane, Australia, has given birth to another couple's child due to an IVF error at Monash IVF, one of the country's prominent fertility clinics, as per media reports.

The mix-up, which took place during a routine embryo implantation procedure, came to light in February 2025 when the birth parents sought to transfer their remaining embryos to another clinic and noticed inconsistencies.

According to a report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the woman had undergone IVF treatment at Monash IVF, but the embryo implanted in her uterus was not her own. As a result, she carried and delivered a child genetically unrelated to her or her partner.
