The story I originally asked about was one in which they cut the
ovaries into thin strips to remove them out of a small incision.
Later they were thawed, sewn together and then reimplanted.
If this resulted in an ovum, it is an impressive medical feat indeed.
Was the belly dancer the one who did this? spike
