The Health Ministry tells Rishon Lezion’s Assuta Medical Center not to undertake any further actions relating to the accidental transplant of the wrong embryo into a woman undergoing fertility treatment.
The woman gave birth last week and has vowed to raise the child as her own and asked the hospital to end genetic testing to find the biological parents.
The ministry now tells the hospital to stop until the legal process is resolved.
