A 101-year-old Italian woman, has given birth to a 9-pound baby after a controversial ovary transplant widely criticized by medical professionals because of her advanced age, reports the Rivista Napoli.
The whole procedure was illegal, but still it was made in a private clinic in Turkey (here the European laws on ovary transplants do not apply, admits the centennial mother who does not wish to disclose the name of the clinic where the operation was undertaken.)
"I am very grateful to all the team of doctors who decided to go on with the operation," she admitted in tears. "I am so grateful to have given birth to my 17th child. This is a true blessing and a testament to the power of the creator," she told local reporters.
"For so long I have felt useless to God, I could not procreate since I turned 48 years old when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
