Uncanny, but real story


Real life is more impressive than fiction. How many times have you have listen to the sentence “reality exceeds fiction”?
It is difficult for me to imagine an uncanny story, but it is not necessary to imagine one, you can simply swim into daily news to find uncanny, terrible or touching stories.

Chris Biblis was sixteen when doctors diagnosed him leukemia and told him that he needed radiotherapy, and this treatment would leave him sterile and doctors advise him that if he ever wanted to become a father he would need to freeze his sperm before the treatment, so he decided to do it.

Now, he is 38 years old and he and his wife are celebrating the birth of a healthy baby daughter Stella, who was conceived after scientist injected a defrosted sperm into an egg of his wife, Melodie, and implanted it in the uterus.

Five remaining eggs have been fertilized and are now frozen for possible usy by the couple in the future, if they want to have more children. This is a touching story with a promising end because Chris lives 22 years after doctors communicated him his leukemia. He has overcome his illness as well as this year he has celebrated the birth of Stella, his daughter.

I do not think this is an uncanny story as you have explained it. It could have been so if you had provided the "uncanny" context!

Well written, though most of these mistakes could have been avoided, had you paid a little attention. Don't you think?

Please, disable word identification to make things easier. Thanks!
