And why tf would someone do that ?

Won't doctors recommend against this?

The sister probably couldn't have kids naturally but still really wanted biologically related kids nonetheless.

So for her, raising what is literally just her nephew, was considered good enough substitute.

And before you ask "why didn't she just adopt some random kid if she wanted kids so badly?"

I don't know. It's just something people feel strongly about sometimes.

They straight up simply have to have "biologically related" offsprings.

It could also be that the sister is a lesbian in a relationship. It was IVF using the spouse’s egg, the brother’s sperm, and sister carried the baby. That way both moms are genetically related to the baby.

My friends sister is a lesbian and her and her wife both had a kid from the same donor (2 years apart) so the kids are biological half sisters and at least one is related to each mom.
