Nine months ago, he said he could turn back her biological clock. Now time is running out

Article Abstract:

Kutluk Oktay, director of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at New York Methodist Hospital, undertook an operation in Feb 1999 to re-insert an ovary removed in 1998 from dancer Margaret Lloyd-Hart and subsequently deep frozen.

It now appears that the operation has only been partially effective, with Lloyd-Hart continuing to have hormone replacement therapy and being unable to ovulate without the aid of drugs.
