A baby girl who was born dead after a traumatic birth has amazingly survived after her doctors froze her for three days.

Baby Ella Anderson was born nine months ago in a British hospital. During her birth, her mother's placenta ruptured and the baby bled to death in the womb.

She was revived by doctors 25 minutes after her birth however she suffered oxygen starvation and hospital staff feared she could be left with crippling brain damage.

The decision was made to use cutting edge cooling technology to help revive the newborn. According to The Sun, the technique works by slowing down the metabolism of the brain, enabling it to repair itself.
