A woman who gave birth after receiving the world’s first whole ovary transplant described her newborn baby daughter as “a little miracle”.

IN a rare operation in St Louis on Wednesday, ovarian tissue from Melanie Morgan was transplanted into her 24-year-old identical twin Stephanie Yarber in an effort to make her fertile.

Melanie Morgan and Stephanie Yarber are 24-year-old identical twins and best friends. They look alike, pull their hair back in ponytails the same way, and finish each other’s sentences.
