Dr Netsu said the woman had first registered the baby as her own and then the child was adopted by her daughter and son-in-law.
Whole thing here.

I wonder what would happen if you cloned Leon Kass?

If we cloned Leon Kass, then dozens of him could spend the last decades of their lives infirmed and tied to machines while their brains slowly shrank away. I would wheel all of their hospice beds into a large field or parking lot and use their decrepit, drooling, bedridden forms to spell out the words "human dignity" big enough so that it could be seen from the ISS.
I would probably also give into the urge to piss on a few of them.
