~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~  Today when I went onto the internet, (my homepage is sympatico) and I was reading today's news I saw that a women in India had a baby. But what surprised me was that she was 70 YEARS OLD!!! I thought that it was crazy, because who can actually have a baby when they are 70? It was her first time giving birth and the baby is perfectly heathly. Even though she conceived through vitro fertilization treatment they do not know if she is the world's oldest woman to have a baby because she has no birth cerificate. (2008, December 8).
