Grandma's Got a Bun In the Oven
A 66-year-old Romanian woman gave birth to daughter on Sunday, setting a new world record. The healthy baby was born six weeks prematurely by caesarian section but was the only survivor from a set of triplets. The mother, Adriana Iliescu, became pregnant with the help of donor eggs and sperm and may have received hormone-replacement therapy. Some quick math shows that when her daughter turns 18, Adriana will be in her mid-eighties. Meanwhile, the average lifespan of a Romanian woman is only 73. Source
