A woman has given birth to another person's baby after their fertility care provider mixed up their embryos.
Clinic Monash IVF has apologised after a patient at one of its Brisbane clinics had an embryo incorrectly transferred to her, meaning she gave birth to a child of another woman.
The error was identified in February.
The birth parents were notified of the mistake within a week of the incident being discovered.
Lawyer Sam Macedone told Channel Nine the mistake creates serious legal complications.
"It's a very complicated situation because she's the birthing mother and she's been looking after the child for two or three months or whatever. So the question now is whether, if it's someone else's egg, can she apply to have the child transferred to her by way of adoption or otherwise, if it's her egg, can the donor, if he knows who he is, make a claim for access at other situations? It's a very complicated area. There's no precedent."
Monash IVF chief executive Michael Knaap apologised for the mistake and said the company would continue to support the patients.

The Prime Minister has faced multiple questions about Australia's submarine deal with the United States and the UK, following the United States' global tariffs.
The questions follow concerns that tariffs imposed on Australia will make the manufacturing and importing of far more expensive.
Anthony Albanese says he's confident about the AUKUS deal, insisting he supports the existing arrangements Australia has with the United States.
"I'm confident about AUKUS because I've had those firsthand discussions with the President of the United States, and also with more than a hundred members of Congress and the Senate during my state visit to the United States. I'm also confident that people, when they make an assessment, know that this is in Australia's national interest, but it's also in the national interest of the United States."
Deputy Opposition leader Sussan Ley says the alleged terror plot against Peter Dutton cannot become the new normal in Australia.
A 16-year-old Brisbane private school student has been charged over an alleged terror plot targeting Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.
Ms Ley condemned the alleged incident, telling Channel 7 she can't imagine the distress caused to Mr Dutton's family.
"This is the best country in the world. We're a free, fair, open democracy. We expect this sort of thing to happen overseas, but never here. And when I think about how our courts and our police systems work hard to protect us, I trust they will do the right thing. In this case, we can't let this become the new normal in Australia."
Police allege the teen planned to use a drone and homemade explosives in an attack on Mr Dutton’s property north of Brisbane.
