67 years old? Wow.

Romanian hospital officials say a 67-year-old woman in Bucharest has given birth to a baby girl.

Adriana Iliescu, who had undergone fertility treatment for nine years before becoming pregnant, is thought to be the oldest recorded mother.

The girl was born prematurely by Caesarean section after her twin sister died in the womb, the hospital said.

Mrs Iliescu told local television she had always wanted to be a mother but had been unable to conceive naturally.

A spokeswoman at the Giulesti Maternity Hospital in Bucharest said the surviving infant weighed just 1.4kg (3lb) and was still in intensive care, but breathing normally.

"The mother is doing well. She is saying she has been given a new lease of life," the spokeswoman said, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Mrs Iliescu, a retired university professor, was interviewed by Realitatea TV last month.

She told the station she was optimistic about her future as a mother, claiming her family had a history of longevity.

In 2003, a 65-year-old Indian woman gave birth to a boy.

Schoolteacher Satyabhama Mahapatra from Nayagarh in Orissa had been impregnated with an egg from her 26-year-old niece that had been fertilised by her husband.

It was the first child for Ms Mahapatra and her husband, who had been married for 50 years.

I am of mixed opinion. On the one hand you have science used to allow child birth far beyond the normal age - on the other you have someone that has desperately wanted a child being able to have one.

Apart from the mother [most likely] not living long enough to see her child grow up, I don't have a problem.

If God decided to allow her to have children, why should her age matter? It was God's decision after all.

Sorry but you've got you're case mixed up... if you're the christian you're meant to be anti anything being done to/with humans by technology - e.g. abortion, however if you believe this to be right and abortion to be wrong, thats the general consensus of christians, i have a major problem seeing where you're coming from.

Abortion is ok, within reason, because you don't want to mess up someones life with a child that'll feel unwanted

This... birth, is wrong for the same reason I disagree with 70 yr old men getting women pregnant, but I think this is worse.

sorry but does no-one else find what i've quoted to be a bit off?

It's called science. Not God.

maybe to you. But there are others who feel otherwise. Maybe it was her own persoanl sign from the big man. I dont think it's that weird i mean come on, old people pop viagra these days and get crazy. This truly could giver her a new lease on life. And the age gap isnt so bad. I'm actually rasied by my grandparetns and i treat them like my mother and father.
