Baby has embryo removed from its body 15 days after birth

Shocking footage has emerged from China of a two-week-old baby who had to have his embryo brother removed from inside him by surgeons.

In the footage, filmed at a hospital in Henan Province on Tuesday, doctors show members of the press the 200g embryo.

According to news reports, doctors initially thought it was a tumour but when they removed it they realised it was supposed to be born as the baby's brother.

The baby had surgery and is reportedly hospitalised for recovery.
